Get Intel (i7/i9) or AMD for 4090

Hey,
I've checked many posts and benchmarks and still cannot decide.
I am currently running 9900k with the strix 4090 and I am facing a lot of stutters and leaving performance on the table. I am rocking a wqhd 175hz monitor and would like to get most out of it.
I'll be getting ddr5 and a 420 AIO in any case.
for intel 7200 ddr5 CL32 and for AMD 6000 ddr5 CL30 (both of them G-Skill)

I am considering these 4 options:

CPU Motherboard
13900k Asus ROG hero Z790
13700k Asus Strix Z790-E
7950x/7700x Asus Crosshair X670E hero


I am planning to fiddle around with the OC t
I am also aware of the 7950x 3d v-cache around the corner, but patience is not my strong side (Also there seems to be an Intel refresh so there will be one more upgrade path for Z790)

It's mainly build for gaming (but I tend to have a lot of programs opened and chrome tabs), there isn't really a budget just trying ot figure out the best possible solution
I am currently more leaning into 7700x with AM5 and the Asus Crosshair being a better platform with 4 m2 and 2 of them PCI-E 5, not that I would use it but at least it's there, and the 7700x not really leaving out any performance.

Thanks for any opinions, suggestions

Alternatively you could buy a 4k monitor instead and avoid the bottleneck that way- if you’re buying a 4090, might as well push all the pixels it can handle!
