What is better for my new pc

The 3700X more or less offers the same performance for a significantly lower price. If you're not getting a huge discount price on that 9900K, or you're not using Adobe suite software, Ryzen is a good call.

Depends on your preferences, on the applications you use and what your budget is.

Both are great. Whichever is cheapest is preferable for most people.

Both great CPU's, 3700x bang for buck is one of the best on the market.  9900k wins out a little but it's gonna cost you a pretty penny.  Intel friendly apps, gaming, and anything that benefits the most from pure single thread performance (gaming, photoshop) will give a little edge to the 9900k.  But if money is a concern, you wont miss that extra performance too much for like 150 off.

As an aside, I have a buddy at work I am putting a PC together for, he has a specific budget but wants legit performance.  Ryzen right now will almost always be the answer to that scenario with a 3700x, IMO.  Great multi thread performance, and 150 more dollars I can throw at a GPU (plus the money I will save on buying a cooler, which the 9900k def needs, and the 3700x def does NOT need out of the box - aside from the stock included cooler).  Now if he told me "here's 2500, go buy me whatever" I would grab the 9900k personally.

I say the 3700X is a good buy, as sure its not as good as the i9 in gaming its on par in every other area except adobe because adobe sucks.

depends on your usage if your building a pc from scratch up and your not an adobe user then go ryzen if you have a pc and your upgrading then go with whatever fits your motherboard
