I'm a sophomore in college focusing on graphic design, as well as starting a streaming career in my free time. Im looking to spend around 2 grand on building a beast of a pc for games and streams and i have picked out most of my parts except 2, the processor and the motherboard. Since the motherboard depends on which processor i plan to get im unsure on which will suit my need best. I'm debating between the intel core i7-9700k and the amd ryzen 9 3900x. Any help on judging which im better off with would be greatly apreciated as this will be my first time building a computer.
