It might fit an i9 9900K. The cost of the motherboard depends on the speed you want, especially if you aim for 5 GHz performance.
Is money no object? ok , but why didn't you say so, that CPU costs way more than a 3700x... But are you ok with the fact that the platform will be a complete dead-end on both features and future CPU changes? It will soon be replaced with the Z490 platform once Intel finally releases it. So if you've held onto a 4770k for as long as you have it's odd to have picky taste between the 3700x and the 9900k now. What resolution do you game at?

I have sufficient funds, though I'm unsure if it's worth investing that money for those extra frames. Currently, I'm planning to upgrade to either 240hz 1080p or 144hz 1440p sometime in 2020. Edit: I chose the R7 3800X because it was more affordable, and I think it's better to spend on something else than a PC, haha!
