i5 is 6 cores, not 4. I bet a 9600k outperforms your 7700k.
And using that logic, you'd buy an RTX Titan over 280 Ti...

I only upgrade CPU and motherboard every 3 - 4 years. Why would I buy an i5 when I can buy better?
I've got a 1080ti, I'll upgrade that when the next generation comes through, or get a 2080ti if I get impatient.
I like to future proof, not go with what is adequate for now which is what I would deem the i5.
Because don't forget the 7700k was only introduced in 2017 and was "overkill" for gaming then, its 2019 and it's being (barely) out performed by an i5. So why on earth would I get an i5 when I can buy something much better even if its "overkill" for gaming right now? in 2 years it won't be....
I do find it ironic that someone who has "So stop being poor" on their profile seems to be trying to get me to spend less money?

9600k, vs top of the line AMD Ryzen 3000 or an i9 9900k? Hmmm how is that the best? It barely out performs my current 7700k OC'd to 4.9ghz... and has less threads than my 7700k? Not sure if you're a troll...

Today i spent $270 on the wireless G502 hero and the Logitech wireless charging mousepad, lol. Only gripe is the new software(Logitech G Hub) isnt as streamline as the previous Logitech Gaming Software. To lock the DPI to a specific value and assigning the thumb button was annoying.

Literally everywhere on the planet has the 9900k as the best current CPU for gaming... Even @Madmick has said it is...

I'm not looking at buying a Ryzen 2000 CPU so I don't know why the fuck you'd link that lmao

Are you mentally incapacitated? I'm looking at the Ryzen 3000 series.... which are apparently going to blow the current Intel line completely out of the water? I'm not sure what the fuck you're having a hard time understanding here...So then it's not about having the best.

How are they not going to be the best?
The 9900k would stay relevant because of its single core performance, unless the Ryzen 3000 series don't have on par single core performance then they aren't the best, Multicore performance does not make it the best for real world applications, good for rendering and programs that can all the cores, but many programs are still aimed at single core....

He's trolling you. He's aware it isn't the best gaming processor. It's even shaky to call the RTX Titan "the best" when all the 3DMark records (most importantly the single GPU ones) are held by RTX 2080 Ti overclocks. Anybody who actually pays for that card is either stupid, or one of the privileged .01% who shop in boutiques where they don't even bother to put price tags on the goods. As the epigram goes, "If you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it."
We'll see. Those Timespy scores imply the R7-3800X processor is the P4P stronger processor than the 9900K, which means the R9 processors would undoubtedly be better in single core, but that's a vague indication. It's a bit more complicated than just looking at Turbos. I focus on that to simplify and enlighten. If Ryzen 3000 is capable of a better all-core to single-core turbo ratio, as I have postulated, then even comparing such a relevant synthetic to gaming like the Firestrike physics multicore score may be misleading.
And with these leaked/sample benchmarks exhibiting indications all over the map we're really just a bunch of dudes on 14.4K modems watching the girl's picture come into view pixel line by pixel line; stroking our dicks thinking about how good those tits are really gonna look when our ticket comes in.

@MusterX (will throw you friendly tags for the actual Ryzen 3000 benchmarks when they materialize, too, since I know you're chomping at the bit)
It's a good thing you waited. The new RTX Super Cards are a much better improvement than anticipated. Gizmodo ran the headline, "If You Just Bought an Nvidia RTX 2060, You Should Be Super Pissed."
The GeForce RTX 2070 Super & RTX 2060 Super Review: Smaller Numbers, Bigger Performance
The RTX 2060 Super is matching or beating the RTX 2070 in most game benchmarks, and it's doing this with much better power efficiency (meaning also, of course, lower temperatures):

How much cheaper do you think a 2080 Ti without the ray tracing crap would be?@MusterX (will throw you friendly tags for the actual Ryzen 3000 benchmarks when they materialize, too, since I know you're chomping at the bit)

I don't have access to BOMs, so I'd be speculating, but considering not only what we've seen with the GTX 1600 series, not to mention the reduced pricing on these ray-tracing capable RTX super cards, I have to believe they could match the original RTX 2080 price around $799 or so. That would be a $100 price hike over the GTX 1080 Ti.
But they have to absord R&D costs for the ray-tracing future, somehow, even it's a gimmick in the here and now.
I concur.

I didn't wait. I made most of the changes you recommended including getting the Lian Li case and ordered. The thing about it is, I'm not really obsessed with being on the cutting edge because I buy a new computer every 2-3 years, and closer to 2 than 3. The RTX 2070 should handle anything I'm doing including VR applications so in the end I just have to accept that sometimes these sorts of things happen. I could have waited and bought the Super RTX 2060 or 2070 but the overall price may not have been as low because I received discounts on multiple components for this 4th of July sale.
But in reality...
