You're considering a upgrade from an Intel Core i3-8100 to an Intel Core i7-9700K. It's a solid plan, but compatibility depends on your MSI Z370 Pro setup. With DDR4 8GB RAM and a GTX 1060 6GB, you should be good, but make sure the motherboard supports those specs. Overclocking isn't necessary unless you're aiming for extra performance. If everything checks out, the i7-9700K would be a great fit. If not, look into an i5 or similar that matches your system's needs.
