9900k worth upgrading to ?

If it is just for gaming i'd say no but if you need the extra horsepower for other demanding tasks it will provide a substantial uplift in performance. Grab a solid cooler and enjoy it.
 
Not unless your 1% or 0.1% fps suffers or it's a more pro tool and you need the grunt.

Bf5. Yes. Arma 3. No 🙂
 
I just ordered a i7-9700k and all of them are sitting in boxes at home... until I get home in 1 week. I've wondered if I should be upgrading, since next year I heard that CPU's will make a huge jump. Anyways, ya, I upgrading from an i5-2500k. My primary goal being to play BFV, and finally experiment with hyperV and remote clients in bedrooms (essentially one computer, two desktop sessions). Spent almost $1800 on the upgrade.
 
Just to clarify, you will need a new motherboard, as the board you have your 7700k in will not support coffee lake, even though both are listed as socket 1151.
