Either wait for ryzen 3000 this summer (they’re introducing new chips, the ryzen 9 which is designed to outperform the i9) or get the i9-9900k.

Out of the two I'd opt for the 9700k. 20-25% faster single core/q-core speed. Unless you're doing some kind of rendering work the 9700k is a better option.

If you are partial to AMD, wait for their next cpus.

Problem is, i just seel my kit mb+cpu and I need something in few days.
If I will choose Amd with x470 and maybe this year with the Amd cpu I will change only the 2700x with 3700x.
With Intel, i think for at least 2 years no changes.

For cooling no problem, i have aftermarket 2 and I plan to pass on custom loop.

for gaming, 9700K in a heartbeat.
Yes, it will cost $100 more than 2700x but that is a drop in the bucket for a top end build.
9700K will run at 5.0 while 2700K tops out around 4.3.
Few games can make effective use of more than 4 threads so there will be very little difference between 8 of the 9700K or 16 for the 2700x.

Some other thoughts:
It is not clear if you are reusing other parts which is ok.
If you are buying other new parts then:

16gb of ram @3600 might be better.

The value of the PRO versions is longer endurance; there is minimal performance benefit outside of synthetic benchmarks.

I might suggest a 960/970 evo in the 1tb size for everything.
It is easy to add storage later when you need it and when prices will likely be better.

620w is fine, but I think you are looking at older tech Seasonic.
Look for Seasonic focus 650w.

Anything above 3200 especially for intel hardly makes a difference, no need to spend more on faster ram.
