depends on what games you're playing, the settings, fps you want to hit, and resolution you're using.

Can you try giving more effort on this question?

for gaming at 2k 144hz and for future proofing and for being more specific i want to know on the r7 3700x vs i7 9700k and ryzen 9 3900x vs i9 9900kf

This is always a tough questions.

 

If you get a high end Intel processor, spend the extra money for a good cooling solution and push the Intel to a max overclock, given the exact same GPU and with current games, the Intel processors still come out on top.  

 

However, in most cases the FPS differences between the best consumer grade AMD and consumer grade Intel processor is pretty much unnoticeable unless you are staring at the FPS overlay or looking at benchmark results.   I guess if you had a game where you were right at the edge of unacceptable performance with an AMD processor, the Intel processor might give you 5-10 more FPS but that is the only place your likely to notice the difference.

 

Futher, we don't know how important multi-core/multi-threaded performance will be in the future though we do know that it is becoming more and more important and eventually will probably become more or at least equally as important as single core clock speeds.  Therefore you have to at least consider that AMD completely buries Intel when it comes to mult-core/multi-threaded performance.  There isn't even any competition.

 

So if you go AMD, you tend to trade raw, but rather unnoticable, fps performance for a massive boost in any multi-core/Multi-thread workloads you come across.

If all you'll do is game and you want to push as much fps as possible the i9 9900KF it is... but it's better have a 2080 Ti with the 9700K than a 2070 Super with the 9900KF... always make your builds balanced but focus more on GPU if you just wanna game.

9900kf will be the best at gaming of those four...resolution independent.  Is it worth the money over a 3700x...not to me if it was my money being spent.

Preeeetty much what @Midnitewolf said. The Intel chips are faster in games (Zen 2 actually has a higher IPC and sometimes better single core performance, but due to the Ringbus arch used on Intel consumer CPUs, they have a lower core to core latency which gives them an advantage in games). AMD chips win out in most non-gaming multithreaded tasks. 

If you want manual OC headroom on the core/cache, Intel 9000K series chips (or 8000K, though the 8700K/8086K is the only one I'd advise getting unless you exclusively play games that don't use many threads, or only bench for the highest max fps and don't care for 1% lows). 

If you're down for a little headroom on the core, but mostly tweaking the boost/RAM, then a Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000 series except for the G suffix APUs) chip.
