$370 for a 9600K?! SHould be $270 or so...The 9700K should only be $409 at current Amazon prices, and is the standard 'go to' lately if choosing an Intel performance w/ value solution.....
🙁

does that $375 price already include some sort of exorbitant 40-50% 'value'/'import tax of some type?

If you play any of the newest games that might be struggling with only 4 threads, then the jump to 6 faster/better cores would be nice, and far nice again once you upgrade GPUs in the future.

The tax is too high here , so the best advice is to go on with that . I tried to find i5 8400 it was 265$ here but disappeared from all shops so I decided to go for 9600K. sadly I cant upgrade both Gpu and Cpu so i have to prioritize , Can i hold 1080p 60 fps with i5 9600k.

personally an i7-4790k would be a good option, no new memory, no new mobo, no reinstall, 4Cores 8 Threads, and a much higher clock speed (get a new cooler). Maybe get another 8GB. Much more cost effective given your resolution.

Do not create multiple threads in the future for what is essentially the same problem. As you can see its frustrating to our userbase, and can also result in contradictory advice based on variations in the facts you present in the thread.
