Get the i7 8700K and OC it to 5ghz with the motherboard and cooler you're already set on, I don't think the i9 9900K will be justified for you, you can still stream fine as every one said with QuickSync using the 8700K and video editing is more than fine on it also.

You see the thing is, that I might be able to get the 9900K or 8700K for the price of a 2700X, so idk what to do

The i7 8700K is still perfectly fine for a pick too though, it games about the same as the i9 9900K, and OP is more on the hobby side of things any ways...

 

But either ways GTX 1060, feels kinda eh go all in on CPU and Memory side of things to keep with this GPU which will become a hard bottleneck.

Eh if they are priced the same obviously go for the best lol.

KEEP IN MIND THAT I MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET THE 8700K OR 9900K FOR THE PRICE OF A 2700X, SO I AM LOOKING FOR PERFORMANCE AND TEMPS

he said he can get a 9900k for cheap so it actually should be an easy decision, if he's worried about heat, then a 8700k thats not delidded should scare him more.

Then the 9900K, no question. Better than both the 8700K and 2700X so I don't really see why it's any question. Get the 9900K, a solid mobo, and an NH-D15 or similar.

Yeah if the i9 9900K by some miracle costs lower than a 2700X it's a no brainer, OP actually worrying about temperature when he can have the best in the market for significantly cheaper is one odd thread to be on.

Will probably get the Dark Rock Pro 4 and Z390 Aorus Elite

I do not want an XXL toaster, so I am just checking what is best

Just enable NVENC in OBS or use shadowplay to stream

Ryzen 3000 gets announced at CES in January.

Solid mobo, solid cooler, shouldn't have any issues.

Mate I have no idea where you're coming from with this, get the meshify c with noctua fans all over the place doing a good pull and push air through its inside and the dark rock pro 4... done this is enough to run the CPU fine at 5ghz, literally.

 

I'm actually way more worried about your 10+ years old PSU you don't even know which brand/model it is and you plan re-using with an i9.

[Shiniontv]

Should I just wait for CES to see what AMD announces and whether or not I should buy the 9900K? If they announce 12 or 16 core cpus then I will be getting that 1151501%

This will be my first computer where I decide whats going inside it, so I am just trying to make sure everything is a-okay

From my experience, waiting is usually a bad idea, the fastest i've seen zen 2 rumored is 5.1 (probably matching the 9900k), the only concern then is if u need a 16 core, if you don't need more than 8 cores, and can get a 9900k for cheap, it's a no brainer.

If money is an issue the 2700 is perfectly fine, and half the price of the 9900K, pretty easy pick IMO if you can get around not being able to get it for whatever reason.

 

or even the R5 2600 is probably fine for you.

I want to thank you all for helping me out with this. Hope you have an amazing day / evening and a great life. Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

I will probably get the 9900k, because I do not know how much longer I can survive using my i7 870 (thats not a typo) and it will do just fine for the next couple of years.

[Shiniontv]

@xg32what parts do you use for your 9900k?

Then what the heck are you waiting for?! That's a bargain for a 9900K. Get the 9900K and you will be good to go for years. 

 

Performance wise, the 9900K is ahead of both the 8700K (in productivity) and 2700X (gaming and productivity) though you won't see the improvements in gaming unless you upgrade your GTX 1060 to at least at an RTX 2080 class card.

 

Don't worry about the temps, the Dark Rock Pro 4 is one of the better HSFs available and will be fine especially with a stock 9900K.

mobo is taichi, though i recommend a z390 master unless you need the 10G lan port

cooler is a d15

and ram is

just to squeeze out the last few % in performance in gaming (probably not worth it in most cases)
