Help on choosing new Cpu?

[Caden1128]

Hey guys, I need some help deciding on a new Cpu. The setup I use right now has an i5 8400 a 1660 super and 8 Gb of ram. My new setup already has a 3060ti 16 Gb of Ram and a z390-p motherboard that supports up to 9th gen. I think I have the Cpu narrowed down to the i9 9900k and the i7 9700k. I have looked at many benchmarks and the difference between the two do not seem to big. It it worth spending the extra money for the 9900k? also would the 9900k do better for future games? Thank You

If you live at a micro center, the 9900k is 250 US and is quite a deal. 9700k is similar to 9900k but no hyperthreading, so worse multi-core performance. What country are you in so I can see prices?

9900k for the hyperthreading
