Hello. I currently have a PC parts list with a ryzen 5 5600x and I'm willing to change to an Intel Core I9-9900k because it is currently 300$ at micro center. I also can't decide to get an Intel Core i9-10900K, Intel Core i9-9900K, or just wait for a ryzen 5 5600x to come back in stock. and for cooling, it is going to be paired with a CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX CPU Cooler. I'll post links for accurate pricing:
 

Intel Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake 3.6GHz Eight-Core LGA 1151 Boxed Processor - Micro Center

https://www.microcenter.com/product/622892/intel-core-i9-10900k-comet-lake-37ghz-ten-core-lga-1200-boxed-processor

https://www.microcenter.com/product/630285/amd-ryzen-5-5600x-vermeer-37ghz-6-core-am4-boxed-processor-with-wraith-stealth-cooler

If you recommend going the intel route please recommend a quality motherboard for the correct socket (under 250$ and please try to make it white). I've done my research on intel motherboards but I need more from other people's opinions.

9900k looks amazing at that price, but don't do it.

by the performance it's beaten by 5600x.

as a platform is a dead end.

what is good about ryzen is you can move up to 16 cores whenever you need to.

so even in 10 years later it will be still relevant.
