What CPU should I get for my gaming PC? The i7 9700K or the i9 9900k? I'm finally upgrading from my i7 3770K build but I'm not sure what to get. Losing hyper-treading, will that impact performance a lot? I already own a GTX 1080 SC so the GPU isn't changing. Here is what I have chosen so far: CPU: Intel iX 9X00K ? Mobo: ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero
Mar 23, 2010 · Honestly get the 9700k; pure gaming just doesn't use that many threads at the moment. But who knows in the future. Also unless you're trying to run games at 240fps just about any current cpu is good enough, whether it's this gen or last gen, amd or Intel.
