Building new PC Ryzen 3900X or 3800x or 9900K???

Sup,

 

I was about to pull the trigger to build a new gaming / work computer at home, but from what I gather I should be looking at the new Ryzen 3900X vs the 9900K. For one good luck finding a 3900x right now or even in the next 6 months. SO because I can't get my hand on a 3900x should i get a 3800x or go back to intel 9900k or wait a few more months to see what comes out?  I really want to build a sick custom water cooling rig but it sounds like its pointless because OC on AMG 3rd gen doesn't do much. Please help

So, 3700x will certainly save you money and be a very capable performer but BIOS stability is kind of a mess right now depending on which mobo you get so depending on how much you want to mess with your machine, the 9900k may be the better option.
