I am not considering a upgrade to my desktop. I have the ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero (Wi-Fi) Z390 semi picked out for the mobo but I am also looking at some others. I have had pretty good luck with the ROG boards in the past which is why I picked this one.
The big question is picking the CPU. I am considering the i9 9900k, which I think it at the top if the list. There is also the i9 9900kf, which should be cheaper but it is not.. and finally the i7 9700k
I mostly play games but as I run 3 monitors, i tend to have several other things open, like a messenger, firefox and several windows open as well as maybe youtube playing.
I have not really found the answer if I would benefit from the extra threads as well as hyperthreading from the i9 chips or will the i7 do the job.
I am also a little concerned about buying into a soon to be replaced chipset on the mobo, like I found with my last one even though its lasted a good 2 years now, id hate to get a new mobo then find the next gen of chips that may come out in the next 6 months take a entirely new chipset and I got to do this all over again if I want one of the new chips.
and I see i need to put the new system into my sig.
