Trying to decide between these Ryzen and i9 builds

[Zagrosi]

Since my last post here I've narrowed my choice down to two different builds. I'd really appreciate any advice.

 

What both builds have in common:

Aero One Eclipse RGB Mid Tower Case - Black

Gigabyte Aorus 360mm RGB Liquid CPU Cooler

Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut High Performance Thermal Paste - 1g

32GB (4x 8GB) Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 3200MHz Memory Kit

Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2080 Ti 11GB GAMING OC Graphics Card

Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe SSD

Corsair RM750 750W 80 PLUS Gold Fully Modular PSU Power Supply

 

Where they differ:

AMD Ryzen 9 3950X (Socket AM4) w/ Gigabyte X570 AORUS ULTRA Motherboard

vs

Intel Core i9-9900K 9th Gen Processor w/ Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO WIFI Motherboard

 

The Intel build is definitely cheaper but I'm indecisive due to the potential benefits of the extra cores in the Ryzen build. The main purposes of this build will be gaming, recording, streaming, editing and rendering. I have a feeling that both rigs are overkill but seeing as I'm burning so much cash I just want the best performance for my rupees.

 

Thanks in advance!

3950x with a few edits. Firstly, get a 3600mhz kit. Seriously. Second, go for a sabrent rocket 1tb (normal or the 4.0 is fine, the 4.0 is marginally faster, though) and a 2tb hdd if you'll need it (if youre video editing or something else and gaming, or game on a lot of tripl aaa's, and thirdly (this is my oinion), go for the MSI x570 Pro Carbon. Otherwise the build seems good. Why pick ryzen? It will do better in the long run, especially in anything other than games (with more cores), and It practically matches the 9900k at gaming with a light-medium OC which you could easily do with a 360mm aio, as it's about (or even less) as hot as the 3900x. The 3950x also has double the cores at only 3/2 the cost of the 9900k, so there's that. 

Either way though, you'll enjoy youre build, just one more than the other. 
Have a great day!

RGB (and looks) overkill, performance wise the 3950X is more fitting

What's good about it?

A steaming hot VRM with 3900X recommended for 3950X, excellent idea.

I'm having this computer pre-built and the company I'm ordering from don't have 3600MHz RAM in stock! I know, not building it myself is despicable and I have built PCs myself before, but I get a really good deal with business expenses this way. As for the RAM speed argument itself, I watched Linus's video on RAM speeds on Ryzen builds and the differences beyond 3200MHz seemed marginal and over-exaggerated; am I missing something here?

Thanks. Do you think that the difference between 3600MHz and 3200MHz RAM would be significant on a build like this?

4x8GB 3600MHz may need manual tuning in order to work, if you cant even build the system yourself I doubt your ability to fix that... Just stick to 3200MHz

 

performance increase will be heavily task dependent, could go up to 20% in best case but usually will be within 5%

Why 9900K or 3950X? The 3900X comes in at a similar or lower price than the 9900K, offers 50% more cores and has similar single-threaded performance.

I feel like it's closet brand loyalty...
