The TDP is really low. I was looking into this processor to use with a powerboard mini itx setup, but then ryzen third gen came out. Since boost clocks of the i9 9900t are so low, you might as well go Ryzen to save money that can be invested into other hardware components in the build.
like ryzen 7 1700 a and bit of OC

That is not the same as overclocking. Turbo boost happens automatically. I would recommend an R5 3600 or R7 3700x, over a 9900t. Ryzen 3000 has faster IPC, then Intel, right now. With only being able to clock to 3.6ghz, it would lose out to either, in games.
im want to buy r7 1700 because i found much of them for under 130€ used, but is it good idea?

What is your budget?
Where will you shop?

As a guideline, for a balanced gamer,
budget about 2x the cost of your processor for the graphics card

Most any modern 9th gen intel or 3000 series ryzen in the $200 price bracket will do a decent job.
i found ryzen 7 1700 for 66€ and rx 580 for 130€ and mb for 69€ and everything else i have
