[SOLVED] Upgrading cpu

[ruyy]

Iam thinking of replacing my i5-9400f and Asus Prime z370-p motherboard with i7-9700k and Asus rog strix z390-f Gaming.

I have a 2 month's old Nvidia gtx 1660 8gb, and my question is, does my gpu is strong enought to keep with the cpu?

First of all, your current motherboard supports a 9700K.
I see no need to change out the motherboard.

There always is a limiting factor in games.
Usually the cpu or the graphics card.
If you favor fast action games, you may not see much improvement since such games will be graphics limited.
OTOH, if you favor sims, mmo or strategy games, you will do well since they are cpu centric.
Multiplayer games will benefit from more cores.

Yes, keep the Z370 motherboard.
There is very little difference with using a Z390 based motherboard.
You always have the option to change the motherboard if you find some Z390 feature you need later.
