Question I7700k upgrade.

[Surreals]

I currently have a i7700k cpu and 1080 I am currently about to upgrade to a 2080ti RTX Strix I was potentially looking at upgrading my cpu to a i9900k but I would need to replace my current mobo... ive seen a lot of people 50/50 with this as the i9 is still pretty expensive, and a lot of people are saying it’s not worth the upgrade should I stick with getting a i9 or
Upgrade to something different I also need to mention it’s for streaming and playing pc games at high resolution would appreciate your guys help. Thanks

I would try it with the 7700k. first.
The 7700k isn't a slouch.
I'm running a 2080 Ti with an i7-7800X and it runs it no problem.

What resolution/refresh rate is your monitor?

I'd honestly wait a month or two if you can. I believe Ryzen 3000 should be coming out in roughly that time frame.

Edit: You should probably mention that you want to game + stream, hence wanting more cores.
