I’ve been using a 9700k since 2018 and am thinking about upgrading. I got a 3090 a bit ago and the 9700k is obviously bottlenecking what I can get out of it. Should I wait another year or upgrade soon?

I ended up going from a 9700k to 12700k about a year ago ish. 2 questions you need to answer… is it financially viable? Is it necessary or more of a want?
