i5 9600K or i7 9700 (non-K)

[AB2112]

I'll preface this by saying the PC I've ordered is a few days away from going into the build phase (so no changing to AMD), and already has the 9600K selected as its processor.

It'll be paired with a 2060 Super, CoolerMaster 212X Black edition cooler, a 750w PSU and 16gb of RAM, and will be used for 1080p gaming and a bit of Maya 3D modelling/rendering (not seriously, but as a hobby).

I've already changed a fair few of the components since ordering, but now I'm wondering if I'd see much of a benefit from sticking with the i5 9600K or bumping it up to a i7 9700 (non-K, I'm already over my budget so I'm drawing the line at another £60). I can't see me overclocking the i5 that much in the future, but for over £100 more, I wondered if the performance gain on the i7 would be that notable?

Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for your reply, much appreciated.

I think you're probably right. Not sure any benefit I would gain would be worth £120-ish, so I'll probs stick with the 9600K.

You could post your full spec and people might be able to recommend some changes still, that will improve your build. Keeping with intel
