Windows 10: Future CPU Investment

As of now, my CPU is an i-7 8700k. The current bios update for my MSI Z370 A Pro details that it now supports 8th and 9th generation processors. i was thinking of a future upgrade when the Coffee Lake generation will be not as, for a lack of a better term"outdated",and wanted to ask if buying an 8th or 9th generation CPU and dropping it in with my current motherboard would be the best option OR to buy a factory set 8th or 9th motherboard. I'm honestly kind of curious. I'm not going to upgrade my CPU for along time.

INCORRECT CPU FREQUENCY READING

Hello Muhammad,

CPU usage depends on the applications that are open to your device. To isolate the problem, we suggest that you answer the following questions:

• Can you include a screenshot of the CPU reading?
• Have you tried performing a
  clean boot to eliminate software conflicts?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

Looking forward to your response.

 

Upgrading Pre-Built i7 920 (dell) - Stick with 920 or invest in new CPU?

Greetings, my first post for TPU here.

A couple of years ago I purchased a prebuilt from Dell. It has the i7 920 CO cpu and everything else is just basic. I purchased this preplanning to upgrade this system part by part in the future knowing this cpu may stick around for a while.

Well the time has come for my upgrade and I'll list my thoughts so far.


PSU - Thermaltake Black Widow edition 850w modular.

Tower - Antec 300

These items are the items I have already invested in. Which brings me to my question.

I'm looking at 3x4 gig 1600+ 1.5v ram, the exact model will be determined on which board I go with. But where I'm lost at, should I stick with the I7 920 and an x58 lga1366 board, or should I invest in a different series. I've noticed there is an abundance of p67 1155 boards and cpu's out there, but from what I've been reading, the 920 is still a very good cpu to stick with. I know there is a new chipset coming out later this year, but is it worth it to just invest in a new 1366 board and keep with the 920?

I'm not big into overclocking, having never attempted before and this cpu will be primarily a gaming rig so I may attempt OCing once I get all the component.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!
Chris
