Hello I recently bought an rtx 2080 ti and I am looking to upgrade my cpu.
I was thinking about the 9900k or the i7 10700k (but then I need to buy a $250 z490 motherboard first), I want these cpu's because I want to be future proof. I will mostly game and sometimes edit some game highlights for youtube. I dont think I will stream.
I game on 1080p and I want the most fps to reach 240 fps.
I know that both cpu's are really close with performance to each other but I hope someone can give me any advice.
Sorry for my bad English...

Purchase the 10700k, pricewise it is lower than the 9900k.
Amazon and Newegg should have weekly deals for you to get a good mobo with it


Mobowise and depending on your setup, if you don't have alot of components.
Aim for this one, with the right quality parts, you could get away with murder under 700 bucks.

If you need a more feature rich mobo, this would be a nice step up.
