Check if your CPU is compatible with the existing motherboard.
Hello, your current setup includes a Gigabyte Z370M D3H motherboard with BIOS F13 and an Intel I3 8100 processor. You're considering switching to the Intel I5 9600KF, which is currently discounted by 20% compared to the I5 9600K. The BIOS version you're using supports the 9th generation CPU, but there might be compatibility concerns. There are other options available at a similar price point that could work well for this configuration.
Visit the official store for $300 to $400 Aussie prices. This is the primary platform I rely on for purchasing components. https://www.umart.com.au/Intel-CPU_C.htm...=59005.0.0
I only see the 9700K and its 615, which pushes the budget a bit higher. The 8700K doesn’t seem available either. The 9600KF should work fine in the compatible MMO.
I'd score around 8700k thanks to the more cores available, even with a 9700kf/9600kf rating.
Check the second-hand market for an 8700k, if it’s too expensive opt for the 9600kf.
