In my country the I9 11900K is priced at 535 dollars new. The I9 10900KF comes in at 495 dollars new, and the I9 10900K is listed at 560 dollars new on Amazon, though shipping adds 105 dollars. Your decision depends on which model fits your needs best. The 11900K offers a higher performance but costs more upfront. If you’re losing cores, consider if the gains justify the price. Also, selling your 10600K could bring in around 215 dollars, making some models more attractive.

Alternatively, you might obtain the 12600k.

If you already have a 10600K, there's not much reason to upgrade. It can be overclocked to match the performance of a stock 10900K in most games. Unless you're planning on streaming with your CPU because your GPU can't handle it, or you've taken up productivity workloads recently, the upgrade won't be worth it. Also, do not buy the 11900K unless the price is equal to the 11700K. The two chips are identical in all the ways that matter, so there is literally no point in the 11900K existing other than for Intel to sell an i9 to hopeless Intel fanboys that can't think past their "bigger number better" mentality. You can just overclock the 11700K to match the 11900K and then the two will be absolutely identical in terms of performance.

For gaming purposes, the changes would be minimal and unlikely to be noticeable unless you're already at a high income level.

Can't install a 12600K on LGA1200 because I don’t want to invest 400 dollars in a new z690 card. I’m sure it’s already overclocked to 4.9GHz across all cores. The chip isn’t very good and it keeps crashing at 5GHz even with all cores running. Unless I crank up the voltage, the 10600K still shows its weakness compared to higher-end models like the 10900K or 11900K. I play CS:GO, which is really demanding on the CPU, so a stronger processor with a higher clock speed would help. The 11700K is 373 in my country, but I’m not sure if upgrading my 6-core 10600K to add two more cores is the right move—I’m just worried about it.

I understand, but in Premiere Pro I notice its limited core count... upgrading from a 2080 to a 3080 would also help with CPU-heavy projects. I’d like to upgrade my 2080 to a 3080 as well—OC'd it might give me more processing power and cores for smoother rendering.

If the absence of cores limits performance, the 10900k offers the best option available on your existing system.

Opt for the 10900K with Intel's QuickSync technology
