This worth upgrading?

[Azakius]

Hey y'all, 

 

So I currently have the following build - 

 

i7 8700k OC 4.9

32 GB DDR4

500GB Samsung Evo SSD

1TB HDD (It's old, probably talking 10 years)

MSI GTX 1080

 

My friend is looking to get a new PC, so I was thinking of upgrading mine for a total of 1450 GBP and he was going to buy mine (minus GPU) for 500 GBP, so total for upgrade would be around 950 GBP.

 

The new build would be - 

 

i9 9900k

32GB DDR4

1TB Samsung Pro NVME SSD

2TB HDD

MSI Gaming X 1080, but will be replaced with whatever the next generation of Nvidia GPUs are. 

 

I just can't decide if it's worth the upgrade? I'd like to future proof if possible as I don't plan on picking up the Series X now and want to play most AAA games on my PC. Any input would be great, I built this PC in 2018 and I wanted to upgrade every 2 years.

Give him some PC worth around however much he’s willing to pay

Appreciate the input! How future proof is the i7 8700k though? I’d like to be able to play most AAA games in 4K and not have to worry about upgrading for a while

Not sure about 4K but check online. Google is your friend when you need easily accessible knowledge. It is good for aaa games current and probably future as well
