aerocool tor pro case with 4 140mm fans
h100i
16gb 3200mhz ram
asus Z390-a
corsair RM750x
GTX 1080 FTW

is it worth it to add £30 to my build price for the 9900kf?

No, it's a bit odd that the KF is actually more money as it's usually cheaper since it lacks a iGPU.

Where are you buying the parts from? On PCPartpicker UK it shows the KF as cheaper.

Here is some discussion regarding the differences.
It appears the kf may overclock better but it doesn't have an iGPU.

Oh, so the 9900KF might overclock slightly higher but I really don't think it's worth the extra cost, plus if something happens to your GPU then you won't have a useable system unless that GPU is replaced. At least with the 9900K you could still use the system due to the iGPU.

Brilliant i was debating not having an iGPU seemed like a daft idea.
