Should I upgrade.

[Draknoid]

I`m Currently looking to upgrade my current setup. I do stream games with a dual pc setup. I`m Currently looking at upgrading in 2 phases,1 CPU/RAM(16Gb 3200Mhz)/Motherboard/NVME SSD and then I was either looking at a new 1080/2070 or even a used EVGA 1080TI. My plan is to use my old 3770k as the streaming pc instead of the FX 8350 and to give my 1060 to my Girlfriend who is running the same 3770k but with my old 660TI.

 

Now my problem is I`m not sure what to upgrade to. I was either looking at the I9-9900k or the I7-9700k. I do intend to keep the CPU for quite a long time (had the 3770k since 2013). I have a triple monitor setup(3x24") but only game on the middle one. It only does 1080p @120hz but at the moment I can only realistically game at 60FPS. I`m wondering if I get the 9900k I might not even need to use a dual stream setup. I read online and most people say that the 9900k is not worth the money and wait for the 10nm chips to come out.

 

Want to get

CPU: Intel I9 9900K/ I7 9700K

Cooler: CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H100i v2 (Edit)

Mobo: ROG-STRIX-Z390-H-GAMING (Should i go with the Z390-E instead ?)

Mobo: GIGABYTE  Z390 AORUS PRO (Edit)

RAM: G.skill TridentZ RGB 2X8 3200Mhz

GPU: 1080/2070/(Used 1080TI)

PSU: Not sure yet but probably some 800W+ 80+Gold

 

Current gaming rig

CPU : Intel I7 3770k @4.5Ghz

Mobo: MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming

RAM: 16GB (2x8) kingston hyperx fury 1600Mhz

GPU: Zotac GTX 1060 Mini

 

Current capture rig

CPU : AMD FX 8350@4.9GHZ

Mobo: Gigabyte - GA-970A-UD3P

RAM: 8Gb kingston hyperx fury 1600Mhz

GPU: MSI GTX 760

 

Any help would be appreciated. I currently have the RAM Mobo CPU in my newegg cart ready to checkout and was about to checkout.

If you want it to last a long time then get the i9. The 9700k just doesn't make sense as a cpu tbh.

So an update I`m going with the GIGABYTE Z390 AORUS PRO due to better VRM for the 9900k seeing as I`m going to be overclocking to 5Ghz all cores.

 

And as a cooler I was going to go with the Noctua NH-D15 but my case only supports a maximum cooler height of 155mm so I`m going with the CORSAIR HYDRO SERIES H100i v2 again because my case cant fit the H115i.

UPDATE: So i currently have the parts and what a difference. I don`t need a second PC to stream anymore. I`m Currently Overclocked to 5GHz all cores at 1.25v. Its great for gaming and streaming at the same time as i hit 75~85C. Now forget about pure AVX stuff as i hit 95~100C. Im assuming its due to my CASE/FANS/CPU cooler. If i remove the front panel panel i get ~90C during AVX

 

My case is a Kopplen Z3 and it barely has any openings in the from for the 3 fans (the fans were sitting about 5mm away from the front glass so i mounted them behind the front metal part of the case and snipped the metal because i installed RGB fans.)

 

Now for fans i have 6 AIGO DR-15 RGB fans. 3 in the front pulling air in 2 at the top and 1 in the rear pushing air out. I also have the fans that came with the H100i Also pulling air in. 2 aigo fans on the front of the rad and the 2 that came with it on the back also pulling in air.

 

And my cooler the H110I is only a 240mm radiator.

 

So in short my question is what should i change first, the case or the fans ?

What would you suggest for a Tempered glass case both transparent front and side panel. And ill try and see if i can 3D print some sort of space for my front panel to at least give it another 1cm of breathing room. Ill attach some pictures once i get home from work.

 

Would the Evolv X be a good case ?
