Question its it worth it

[arcticyuki]

i have issues with some games(metro ex and cod mw) pushing my cpu to 100% even at the lowest settings. its a i5 6600 would it be worth upgrading to an i5 9600k

That would also require changing your motherboard (for the 9th gen CPU), at a minimum. Keep that in mind.

What are the specs for your current config (make/model of each component)?

For Metro the minimum CPU requirement is i5-4440, now i5-6600 is around 20% stronger then 4440.. and i5 9600K is also Coffe Lake socket, and i5 6600 is Skylake, not sure what about that...
