Why do you recommend AMD over Intel? The last AMD I had was about 6 years ago and it had amazing performance however it ran incredibly hot, I’m not looking to have to build the ultimate water cooled machine just to run an AMD chip.

To start I know absolutely nothing about motherboards, so feel free to speak dumb to me. I have recently starting using my PC for trading and streaming and I plan to make some upgrades in the near future. Currently I have: I5-7400 @ 3.00Ghz (4 CPUs) GTX 1060 6GB 16GB DDR4 RAM AsusTek PRIME B250M-A (Motherboard) I plan to upgrade to one of the CPU to one of the I9 series but I am not sure which, as well I plan to upgrade the GPU to either a 2070 super or 2080/2080 super. The one thing which I need while trading is triple monitor support from HDMI so I can manage graphs, spreadsheets, etc and I know AORUS has a few I have been eyeing. The main question being that I know for fact I have to upgrade my power supply being it is at 500W right now, however though should I upgrade the motherboard and what would be the downsides of putting either an I9 9900K/9900KS into my existing motherboard. Please recommend some motherboard choices >$300 CAD. On the other hand if I am upgrading the motherboard should I just go all out and rebuild my entire rig?
