Here is a list of CPUs available for the Alienware Area-51 desktop from DELL. The i9-9980XE is the most expensive, but I have learned that this CPU is better used as a workstation CPU. I know the i9-9900K is the best gaming CPU out there, but there is no option to choose that CPU on the customization page for the Area-51 desktop. So all things considered, out of all the CPUs listed below, which one will achieve the best gaming performance? Thanks!
