Suggestions

So, I’ve been wondering to upgrade my full pc. I wanna go for an i9 9900K. And I’ll probably have all the money needed after 2-3 months. So my question is that should I get the i9 after 2-3 months or wait a 3-4 months more to get the new Intel CPUs. And I’m also thinking of getting a RTX 2080Ti. It’s quite expensive. And is it worth the buck? Or should I go for something else?

You mean 3rd gen Ryzen? I dont think Intel planned any CPU that's meaningful for the coming months. Whether you should wait depends on what you have

Flagship tax atm is too high, RTX 2080 or even 1080ti, depending on how cheap the Pascal card is, are much better deals.

wait 3-4 months and get Ryzen 3 (Zen 2)

 

Intel isnt releasing anything meaningfull and at this time (especially in 3 months time) the 9900k is not a good buy
