You're using an i7-8700 with a strong setup. Considering an upgrade to the i9-9900K for gaming could be beneficial, depending on your needs.

They're offering a modest upgrade—just two more cores and a 500MHz boost, roughly a 10% speed increase for the price of $200. Even with these improvements, the 12400F still delivers strong single-core performance, making it competitive in multi-core tasks.

8700 retains a bit of power. Wait for zen4/13th gen updates.

I’d like a more recent option. Swapped in my 8700k since it was having trouble with the old GPU. I got an ASUS 9900k board for $450. It’s performing fine. It’s cheaper than buying a 12700k and a new board, so I’ll need to find something affordable to keep costs similar.
