Hello, I see you're checking the 9900K $160 discount on Canada Computers. It's a good idea to consider upgrading from your 9700K if you have extra RAM and a spare GPU. Since you handle heavy tasks like video editing in Final Cut Pro X and rendering in DaVinci Resolve 16, the added performance from the new chip—especially with its extra threads and hyperthreading—could make a big difference. A secondary system using the 9700K might also be feasible if you decide to go that route.

It looks like a valid improvement unless the board only has 10th generation processors, in which case you should consider that option instead.

If you can afford it and there's performance you find worthwhile to inherit, absolutely feel free Your workload will be different than others' so you may have to judge on your own fields

It seems the newer model uses a different socket type than the older one.

Sure, just to clarify, you're asking about the 1151 and need help with it.

I believe I understand. Your motherboard is a Z390.
