CPU MOBO suggestions?

I'm looking at either top of the line Ryzen, Intel I7-9700k, or I9-9900K With no idea what to get for a motherboard. I also want to get a 240mm AIO RGB water cooler. Any suggestions?  Any Sales?

A 240mm AIO won't be enough to cool any of those processors if they are overclocked, so I recommend either a 360mm AIO, custom liquid cooling loop, or a beefy air cooler like the Dark Rock Pro 4. For a motherboard, any of the Asrock Taichi, Asus Strix or Asus Prime series boards work great for any of those CPU's. As for the cpu you should get, it really depends on what you need your PC for and what your budget is.

so a 240mm or a (2x140mm) aio won't cool an overclocked i7-9700k? I currently am overclocking my CPU, but realistically I don't NEED to OC with any of the new CPU's. I hate air coolers. I have a budget of about 1k for the CPU, MOBO, and CPU cooler

As you seem to like RGB I recommend buying NZXT Kraken X72 or X62 as it looks awesome.
For the CPU I'd go with the i7 9700k for the best performance in games. 1 or 2 fps lower than the i9 9900k and 140$ cheaper.
For the mobo, as the @Airdragonz said

Thanks! that's kind of what i was thinking as Price to performance was best with the 9700k. The only problem is the fans for that AIO are not RGB (;
