I'm brand new to building PC's with no relevant experience. I'm trying to build something similar to cyberpower's RTX 2070 or Digital Storm's Lynx (the best option, not ultimate option, case my link doesn't work properly). I plan on buying the Oculus Rift and really want to get the full experience. I've been on pcpartpicker and found the site very helpful. But can't seem to really beat the price's of the the two manufacturers (disclaimer, I don't know what I'm doing). I've seen a lot of people on other threads suggesting the AMD Ryzen 2700. Is the Intel i7-9700k better? Is the difference noticeable? I've read reviews on both sides, although the benchmarks seem to suggest the i7 is better until you reach 4k and then they equalize. There's links to both below. I'm partial to nvidia, only because I read there the best, but is there a noticeable difference between alternate manufacturers with the same specs? (Break it down barney style, I'm not 100% pc fluent) If anyone has experience with either one of these pc's I'd like to hear your experience.

Last thing, I love the flashy lights but value performance over looks, flashy lights are a plus though.
