Okay this is all very interesting. If I swapped my monitor to a 144 Hertz 2K and stuck with my current Hardware, would that give me more stable frame rates and performance at Ultra settings do y'all think?

So I'm currently running a 6600k at 4.3 ghz paired with a 1080 TI. I'm using a 60 hz 4k monitor and definitely feel like my CPU is bottlenecking. Is upgrading to a 8700K (6 cores 12 threads) the best price to performance or is a non-hyperthreaded 8 core 9700K going to be worth the extra 40 to $50? Secondly I'm vacillating between a Rog strix z390 E and the cheaper ASUS Prime Z390-A.
