Not really sure what CPU to pair with my current GTX 1070 for the options required. 9700K, 8700K, 9900K, 2700X, 3700X(?) Help! BUDGET AND LOCATION:
The USA. I do have a Microcenter within reach.
Quite flexible. $600-800 If anything will part over time.
AIM:
Replacing my computer's core to increase a bit of client-side and viewer-side performance. Preferably would rather do a single computer setup. Still, want similar or better rendering performance in Premiere and After Effects.
MONITORS:
If possible, I'd like to still run my dual monitor setup with a chance of maybe working in my old 144hz for video watching purposes due to the weird Windows framerate video playback (bug? not sure if it's a bug or just a weird flaw)
PERIPHERALS:
Won't be needing additional peripherals. I'm already four keyboards and mice deep. (They all have their specific uses.)
WHY AM I UPGRADING:
I'm upgrading because there are a few games that have recently begun to test my CPU's limits and they're winning. With the new NVENC that got implemented in OBS, it has been less of a problem but would still like other applications to function without the 100% usage input delay. (Recently been experiencing this with Division 2 and Siege while streaming which makes Discord or any of the VOIP services I use to have a bit of a response delay. I also like to keep another game such as Black Desert Online minimized to the system tray in the background for AFK purposes.
