i5 9600k, i7 9700k, or Ryzen 7 2700x for 1070 Ti?

I recently got a 1070 ti for my pc. I quickly noticed that my cpu is greatly bottlenecking my gpu. I have a i5 7400. I am going to ask for a new cpu for my birthday soon and I am torn between 3 choices: i5 9600k, i7 9700k, or Ryzen 7 2700x. I am not worried about the extra cost of the motherboard from switching to Ryzen because I will need a new mobo for any of these motherboards. Which will be the most worth cpu that will last me 2-3 years? Side note: I use my pc for gaming but I do record YouTube videos and steam occasionally.

1. you need new H/B/Z 3xx MB to support 8th and 9th gen Intel, your current 2xx or 1xx MB can not boot 8th/9th gen.
2. you need extra cooler for those hot chips if you are using Intel stock cooler atm.
3. Budget on the upgrades and current specs pls?

7700K is your 'last stop' for a 200 series mainboard....; as it suffers from elevated pricing because of this, most can find an R5-2600X and X470 mainboard combo for less...
