Hey everyone, I’m thinking about an upgrade soon. Right now I have an i5 8600K and recently bought a 3070 chipset. I think my CPU is limiting performance. I’m weighing whether to go for an i9 9900K (around $300) or a 5600X (about $300), plus a new motherboard for the Ryzen. Should I stick with Intel since I’d just swap CPUs, or do I need something else? Also, is a 9700K (around $200) a solid choice? Thanks!
