Hello all,
Hope I am following the pin for suggestions to asking for help. To start, I know nothing about gaming PCs but my son is very into it. He asked for an upgraded CPU for Christmas (core i7-9700k) to go with his current MBD (TUF B365M-plus gaming). In doing my research it appeared this CPU wasn’t a huge upgrade over his current (i5-8400), however, this is one of the best that will match his MBD. I recommend he upgrade his MBD to get a faster CPU in the same price range as the i7-9700k. Specifically I was looking at getting him the i5-14600KF with either ASRock B760M PG Riptide Wi-Fi or Gigabyte B760M gaming plus WiFi DDR4.
Would upgrading the MBD to allow a better CPU be the move here?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks
