Thank you very much for replying and after careful consideration, I have decided to go with the i7-8700k since it's on the list of compatible CPUs for this PC and is pretty much identical when it comes to performance compared to the i7-9700k. My main problem is that I don't know which CPU cooler is compatible with my motherboard and also fits in my case. Furthermore, I want to use the i7-8700k to its fullest potential (overclocking) so it has to be a CPU cooler that can handle this. There is very little information about this online. Can you please help me?

Hello, I want to upgrade my CPU from the i5-8400 that this PC came with, with an i7-9700k. I have the OMEN by HP 880-135nd model and I wanted to ask if my Motherboard is compatible with the i7-9700k before I make my purchase. I have a Z370 motherboard with a LGA1151 coffelake chipset. Here is a link with my PC specifications: https://support.hp.com/nl-nl/document/c05962167 (Note: I have recently upgraded my GTX 1070 GPU with an RTX 2080 SUPER. I’ve also upgraded my 500W power supply with an 850W power supply.) If it is possible to upgrade then I know I will have to buy a better CPU cooler because the intel stock cooler that came with the i5-8400 is not going to cut it. I have been looking around but cannot decide which one is the best for my build. I'm mostly thinking about buying the dark rock 4 pro, Dark Rock TF, NH-D15 or NH-D15s to be able to use the i7-9700k to it's fullest potential. The problem is that I'm not sure if these CPU coolers fit in my case or are compatible with my motherboard. If these coolers are not compatible with my build than do you have any suggestions? Some advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
