CPU Upgrade?

[Half Life]

Hi guys,
a yerar ago I bought a 9600K because I had a limited budget. But I don't know if will be enough for next gen games, my plan it's I'll upgrade platform in two years at less. Do you think I need upgrade to a 8C / 16T processor? Now I can upgrade to a 9900KF ...
I don't edit videos, only sometimes convert videos with handbrake and I occasionally use AutoCad, Inventor, Mathlab, MasterCam and maybe start use Catia (at this time, all runs fine for the work I do)

I have:
MSI Z390 Gaming Pro Cabron
MSI RX5700 MECH OC
Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) 3000MHz CL15
Intel 800GB SSD
Custom loop only for CPU(360 / NF-A12X25PWM / D5)

With the graphics card I don't have problem, runs the games I play and I'll upgrade the next year ...

I think you should worry about upgrading for next gen games

I mean, the system is fine. No need for CPU upgrade for games. You will see marginal improvements of 10fps or less at best if you game higher than 1080p. IMO, you pretty much hit a diminishing return at 8600k, which is arguably similar to 9600k. You should jump to AMD for your next build. If you want to get a bit more mileage, overclock it to 5ghz then it performs similarly to 9700k in games.

Well, actually I have @4.7 on all cores, and with a 25°C room temp and 40% fan speed and 20% pump, the peak it's 60°C on gaming, and the exhaust fans (2) are the case fans included with the 500D SE, I think are nice temps and if I SW the fans for a better ones I can have better temps...

Don't do it. If intel's 10000 series were ever compatible with the 8/9000, i would have said to wait. Since it is probably not, definitely don't think about a dead end platform. Wait to see if zen3 is compatible with older chipsets and to see intel's roadmap for post 10000.
