Hi Guys,

I just got my 2080 Ti and now I need to pair it with a new processor and I was hoping if you could share your personal recommendations on which should I choose. I could afford either of the 2 processors but if I will be spending my money on an i9 with very minimal gain compared to an i7, I don't think I won't get my money's worth. I know there's a lot of benchmarks and reviews online but I prefer real world scenarios and/or performance to help me decide.

I use my PC exclusively for gaming and sometimes streaming. As long as I can game on a minimum of 75fps for AAA titles on a 1440p resolution, that will be more than enough for me.

Thanks in advance!
