PC upgrade?

Hey guys, I'm thinking of upgrading my CPU to an Intel i9 EXTREME with 18 processor cores, and also getting 64 GB of RAM, should I do it? Post your suggestions!

 

depends on what you do

if your just playing games that's overkill, I do programming, 3D modeling and some AI and the 32GB pc they provided was overkill. but it was nice having that extra headroom to play with

 

Yeah, I make my computer do a lot of multitasking, like gaming while having a lot of things open while recording and stuff like that, but I understand what you mean. I think the upgrade would be great, but I have to pay for a $1000 CPU! This is why I need suggestions
Oh and also, I'm going to need water cooling

 

Your specs are overkill for 90% of applications already, so I wouldn’t recommend it.

 

I stand with your opinion.
If I may ask Facey, how old are you. if your still in school or even university your pc won't need a upgrade for atleast 3 years

 

Maybe I should do the regular i9 but I HATE the i7 I'm using right now. It always just overheats and that makes it slow.
I need to future proof my computer, because I don't plan on getting another one for a long time.

 

if the i7 overheats the i9 will also overheat. rather get better cooling instead of getting a i9. And a i7 is future proof

also check benchmarks, the 7900k does better than a i9 9900k in some games. I really suggest not upgrading as a i9 is more of a workstation cpu

 

I was saying I would get water cooling along with my i9, and I'm getting a relatively fast i9.

 

ah okay forgot about that. But which i9 are you getting. as the extra cores dont really help alot in games

 

i7s are hot chips. Always have been. You should get a good cooler for it. A 100mm+ AIO would be ideal.
