Hi All,

I have a wierd question , started my first pc build and now im at CPU option , i have already MSI Z390 tomahawk , Corsair Vengence pro ram and nzxt kraken x53. But now all of the prices on cpu skyrocketed in my country  due to all corana stuff.

And now i have to chose  should i buy i7-9700k or i5-9600k to pair it with rtx 2070 super or rtx 2080. Its mostly for gaming and maybe some small video editing ( no experience at that at all) 

Could you assist with some advice should i save up a bit and buy i7 or go and get i5

Doesn't the 8700K work in that board? find a used one of those on the cheap if it does

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

There's no real reason to upgrade one for gaming so no one is getting rid of them I'd imagine.

 

should never buy your PC in pieces btw, woulda been better off with an R5 3600 most likely

 

unless you can return the motherboard.

9700k as a product was a mistake and anti-consumer

 

wait for something better.

9900k or 8700k are the only chips that make sense to me
