What to upgrade?

[SuperFlower]

Right now I have the following specs: 9600k, z390 aorus pro, 16gb 3000mhz, 500gb 860 evo, superflower leadex gold II 650w with a gtx 1070 which is getting changed to a 3070 when they launch. What should I upgrade in terms of cpu?

 

1. Find a used 8700k

2. Upgrade to 10600k or 10700k (with new mobo)

3. Find a used 9900k

 

Don't get me wrong, the 9600k is doing a amazing job in any game, but I'm just thinking about future next gen consoles having 8c16t. Should I upgrade to any of these options or a 9600k + rtx 3070 will be enough? What would you do?

used 8700k-9900k would be nice. or whe nbuying rtx 3070 buy ryzen 4700/4700x

 

but yeah 6c/6t is not hat good after console release. used 9900k makes more sense than 8700k

I know you didn’t ask this but I would upgrade The ram to At least 3200mhz if you are going to do one of these Upgrades and wait for the new CPUs to come out because they will be more powerful and Efficient than the past gens from Intel

Yeah cause +200mhz on the RAM will change EVERYTHING lol...Intel does not care as much about ram speed...3000mhz is fine.

not necessary since intel's memory controller only allows 2933 to be actually utilized so it would be a waste of money

2nd since intel cpus on run one ccx the higher speeds wont matter since chache latency isnt a problem like amd is

Amd is more ram hungry
