Build Advice Compatibility check for a new upgrade?

[nturner03]

I am currently in the process of making some significant upgrades to my PC. I am currently running a Intel Core i5-7500 with a EVGA Geforce GTX 1070 all connected through an MSI z270-a pro motherboard. I was planning on upgrading my CPU to an i7-9700k and my motherboard to the MSI z390-a pro. Are there any compatibility issues with this?

No, other than what your cpu cooler is/will be.

I am using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing Cooler

Not quite good enough. It's going to get a little toasty in more recent titles with that cooler.

Okay, do you have any suggestions for better coolers for this setup?
