Budget (including currency): 1500 canadian

Country: canada

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: mostly gaming ,watching a movie/stream on the other monitor

Other details already have 144hz monitor, keyboard,mouse,headset

Im looking to check what cpu to get and im stuck if I should just go with the old gen I9 9900k 529 dollars or I7 10700k 579 and also no clue what motherboard to pick up for them. I have already a 1060 6gb video card and going to keep it till I really need an upgrade. So what option and motherboard are good and should get. I see that if I go with the i9 9900k i could get a higher tier motherboard for for cheap or im going to pay a bit more for a new gen but is it going to be worth it. So what do you guys recommend

or go with this

I highly recommend swapping to a NZXT Kraken if you plan to buy one of those CPUs. They get overly hot with all those cores.

so aircooling is not good for those chips ;/

i just slotted a 9900k into my z390 hero and 5ghz is not an option for me with air cooling lol, way too hot pulling over 200w. even stock it was running 80C, and ive got a noctua d15s. definitely get a hefty aio or something, imo you should build around a 10600k with a midrange mobo, that can probably do 5ghz on air without catching fire and its more than enough for gaming

topics i need help on:

Spoiler

 

 

my "oops i bought intel right before zen 3 releases" build

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (placeholder)

GPU: Gigabyte 980ti Xtreme (also placeholder), deshroud w/ generic 1200rpm 120mm fans x2, stock bios 130% power, no voltage offset: +70 core +400 mem 

Memory: 2x16gb GSkill Trident Z RGB 3600C16, 14-15-30-288@1.45v

Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming

Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S w/ white chromax bling
OS Drive: Samsung PM981 1tb (OEM 970 Evo)

Storage Drive: XPG SX8200 Pro 2tb

Backup Storage: Seagate Barracuda Compute 4TB

PSU: Seasonic Prime Ultra Titanium 750W w/ black/white Cablemod extensions
Case: Fractal Design Meshify C Dark (to be replaced with a good case shortly)

basically everything was bought used off of reddit or here, only new component was the case. absolutely nutty deals for some of these parts, ill have to tally it all up once it's "done" :D

To be honest I wouldn't go with either, grab a 3600, a B450 and then your 1060 won't be bottlenecking the rest as much. Also you don't need 32GB of ram for your use case, 16GB will be fine and 1000 watts is way too much. And also, with the money you save you might be able to treat yourself with a new GPU if you want

already have the 1000 watt psu from my bros old rig
