Which Cpu Should I Buy?

[BANNES]

So I'm going to buy a new Cpu and motherboard, Im currently choosing between the i5 9600k, i7 9700k and Ryzen 2700k. 

I'm basically only gonna use it for gaming. So im wondering which one is the most worth it and what motherboard i should get with it.

I also wanna add that prices may be different here than in the us. so the i5 costs 300usd and the i7 costs 470usd and the ryzen 360usd

My other specs are:

16gigs 3200mhz

RTX 2070 gaming z

NZXT kraken x62

for gaming intel still has the better performance
and the i5 should be sufficient if you are only gaming

btw its 2700x for ryzen

R5 2600 + a rtx 2080

Better to spend extra on the GPU

How much is the 8700K for you?

Is the option to wait for Zen 2 or is this a completely new build?

Oh man what a rip off.  The 8700k costs like 330 dollars, soo sorry you have to pay soo much more in your country.

Wait until June or July when the Zen 2 will be released and no one knows anything about it as far as benchmarks and gaming performance.  It might be faster core for core vs the 9900k.  We have no answers and AMD is keeping hush hush about the Zen 2.  That can be a good thing or a bad thing.  Im leaning towards a good thing, they want to surpires all Intel owners if the Zen 2 beats it core for core.  Also at 7nm process vs Intel 14nm and that is what gives me hope for single core performance.

Only if you want to game at 4k @ 60fps.  Only the 2080Ti can handle this, but 60fps is tad bit low for my preference.  I rather set to 1440p with all nVidia panel settings set to max and turned on ;  all AA methods and what not and in game maxed out the settings and I get triple digit FPS and can hang with a 144hz monitor

9700K all the way, 9600K if you want to save some coin. I had an 8600K OCed to 5Ghz (about 3% slower than a 9600K at the same speed IIRC), and it utterly destroys the 2700X in everything. Either at stock boost (the 2700X will take single cores to 4.35Ghz, all to 3.9 on it's own, more if you tweak the boost), or a 4.2Ghz all core, couldn't hold a candle to the 8600K at high refresh rate gaming. For anything up to 100fps Ryzen is fine, but beyond that, an OCed Intel 6 or 8 core is as good as it gets.
