There are so many different versions of CPU's out there and I don't know which one to upgrade to. I have a 2080 Ti just want to know what would work best with my build specifically for gaming. Is it even worth an upgrade? I have a 9th gen i7-9700k at the moment. Thanks

No need to upgrade, it can drive a 2080 ti flawlessly

Something new on the market is a bad reason to upgrade, because you waste money for something you don't really need.
If there is something you would like to do with your PC, which your current system can't handle, you can upgrade with focus on that something.

 

With the RTX 2080 Ti and a i7-9700K you can play many games at 4K 60 Hz. 

Most people can't see a difference to higher framerates and with the right distance to your monitor you shouldn't even be able to see pixels.

So ask yourself: What do you really want? Is it possible with the current system? And only if the answer is no, think about upgrading.
