What CPU should I consider for my next upgrade?
Asked by

I'm currently using an Intel Core i7 8700K paired with a GeForce RTX 2080 Super and an MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard. I'm looking to upgrade my CPU but want to ensure compatibility and avoid any bottlenecking. What would be the best options for me?

Yeah, the i9-9900K is the max for your setup without changing the motherboard. But if you're looking to stick to a tight budget—around £100 or so—you might need to hold off on upgrading until you're ready to invest in a complete overhaul with new components.

Your motherboard can handle an Intel Core i9-9900K, but keep in mind it's just a slight performance boost over what you already have. If you're looking for a real upgrade, you might want to consider a new motherboard and RAM as part of the package. Do you have a specific budget in mind?
