[SOLVED] Considering upgrading

[silenthunt316]

Good afternoon guys, I currently have a i9 9900k with an MSI RTX 2070 which is in RMA(it’s taking forever)So I was looking into the 3070 gpu and wanted to know if I can upgrade to the 3070 and stay with my 9900k, or do I upgrade to 10900k? I’m just trying to evade bottlenecking .

many advice will be appreciated!

The 9900K is a great CPU. No reason to upgrade.

Ok awesome, another question. Is the 3070 the same slot size as the 2070? Or will I need a new mobo?

The 3000 series are still PCIe x16, yes. All existing mobos will be compatible.

Whether the specific 3070 you buy ends up being 2, 2.5, or 3 slots thick depends on the brand/model you end up buying.
