Here is my current rig below. Is it worth upgrading to a newer z370 motherboard and i7-9700k
  • Motherboard: Asus Maximus VIII Extreme
  • RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 64GB DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600) F4-3200C16Q-64GVK
  • CPU: Intel I7-6700k
  • GFX Card: Asus Rog Strix OC 1080 Ti 11GB
 
Solution
For what uses? Gaming, probably so, depending on the game. Photo/video editing I would go a different direction with more cores. General business use not worth the upgrade.
