    This is a great processor. Bought it for my kids because they game a lot and their PC's were laggy. Popped this in along with a new motherboard and now their games run smoothly.

    AMD has brought it this year with the Ryzen product line. Intel has finally brought down the cost of their CPU product line. The i7-9700K is still betters the Ryzen CPU for gaming.

    Unless you have unlimited budget to spend on an i9 processor, I recommend picking up the i7-9700k for your gaming rig. It's handled everything I can throw at it without breaking a sweat.

    Coupled with a Gigabyte AORUS motherboard This CPU has a lot of power to run xplane11 at a 4K resolution. No hesitation, no stutter makes this a ideal simulator.

    The Intel i7 9700k is a great processor, but whether you want to spend the extra money on this one, or just go with the 8700k is up to you. They have near the same performance.
