Hello Everyone.

So, this is my current specs:
  • Asus Z170 VIII Ranger
  • Intel i7 6700k
  • Cooler Dark Rock 3
  • 3200mhz G.Skill CL16 16GB RAM
  • RTX 2080 MSI Gaming Z
  • Monitor Dell S2716DG 27" 1440P 144HZ
I have the chance to upgrade to a Asus Z390 Strix F Gaming for 198€ and i7 9700k for 416€ and i can sell my current mobo + CPU for around 250€, is this upgrade going to be worth? I basically use my PC for 95% Gaming and much nothing else, sometimes i feel my 6700k is stuttering in more CPU bound games, and i'm a total noob in Overclocking.

Thanks in advance :)

Yes it would be worth it if you want to do it.
