[Question] Should i get the i9 11900k?

[Critmedin]

Hey  wanted to ask what CPU i should get. Currently i am sitting with :

 

motherboard: asrock b560 pro4

CPU: i5 11400

GPU: rtx 3070 ti

RAM: 32gb ddr4 3200mhz

PSU: 700W psu coolermaster 80 plus

 

I play games in 1440p 144hz warzone 2, path of exile, planning to play some other games too, and i also code and do sometimes heavy projects running in docker. I was planning to get an i9 11900K since i wont have to swap motherboard but i heard that the i9 11900k is kinda bad..

It is not worth buying if its expensive. Thats pretty much what it comes down to, how much is it? 

 

Other then that, if its anything more then 170$, probably not worth it.

It might be thought but have you looked at the non K.

If you upgrade on the same platform most of the benefit will come more from cores, 8 vs 6. Also consider 11700 series as the 11900 is only a small clock bump on top. The lower 8 core CPUs can run pretty much the same as the higher ones if the mobo allows you to select higher power limits.

 

If the costs of doing so are high, then a platform swap might be considered.
