    Id be supprised if the 9900 would be supported, they can be very power hungry! User benchmark is my goto place :) most peeps go with a 9700 https://www.userbenchmark.com/System/Acer-Predator-PO3-600/94846

    The problem is I already have a i7 9700 and want a i9 9900 technically it is, because B360 supports it right?

    Yes, I would expect it to work. Just stay away from the K models unless you are going to be doing somethign with the cooling system.

    What do you do with your PC? What will run that much better/faster after this upgrade? As far as I know, 9700K is still a very good gaming CPU. One thing that speaks for 9900 is that it has hyperthreading, though. If that is what your workload needs, it might be worth a try (although I'd personally build a new system in this case).

    Depending on your GPU, resolution and target FPS, 9700 is still very capable processor.
