I am planning to Upgrade my pc and I found an Intel core i9-9900K to the same price as an Intel core i7-9700F (412usd) Is this a good price? and which should I pick? Which has the best options for video editing and gaming? If this has something to do with the conclusion motherboard: H310M A-CF PSU: 100-240VAC Ram: 8 gig GPU: Radeon RX 580 series (Gigabyte) SSD: C: 286GB D: 931GB CPU: intel core-i3-8100
Around the same cost, the 9900k offers a solid value, likely the top choice for upgrading within the budget.
I've upgraded my Gigabyte Z370 Gaming 3 with a 9900K, replacing the 8700. You mentioned your board likely has more VRM phases and a heatsink on top of the VRM. I experienced serious thermal problems when pushing the 9900K to full capacity—temperature spiked to 90°C in seconds, followed by throttling and eventual shutdown. To resolve this, I reduced turbo speeds for cores 6, 7, and 8 to 4.4GHz and modified the VRM heatsink to increase pressure, plus added a finned heatsink on top of the original one to keep temps below 90°C even under stress. Your question about how your board would handle the 9900K under load is important.
Opt for a more affordable setup by swapping the H310 board for a discounted 10700F and a budget B560. Skipping the more expensive options won’t hurt performance.
The component is a 10700F on a B460/H470 platform. It indicates a high-performance CPU paired with a suitable motherboard.
I still prefer the B560 for memory performance. I accidentally wrote about a Z board with a K chip; I actually wanted a locked 10700.
