Upgrade path from my i5 9600k

I currently have a z390i, core i5 9600k and 16gb of ram paired to a 2080 to, I also have a line on a core i9 9900k for 300 Canadian to my door if I choose to go that route.

My question is what would be the better choice?

Get the i9 9900k or If I wait a little I could possibly upgrade to a i7 12th gen and a ddr4 mobo for a bit more.

Just using it for a gaming and surfing internet so what would be the best choice.

I know that go with the new mobo/cpu that it will be a little bit more than getting the i9

Thanks everyone.
