Hello.
I was planning to build my first PC, with 9600k and 2070, for 1080p144Hz gaming. But then someone told me, that i would better benefit from i7-9700k’s more cores, paired with a 2060 instead. That is still in my budget, though a bit pricey. Someone then suggested me to go for the Ryzen 7 2700x, as it is cheaper, and it even has 16 threads compared to the i7’s 8. That price save would allow me to go for the 2070 again. But then i actually looked at some benchmarks, and the i5 seems to get around 10 and in some cases even 30 FPS more compared to the 2700x. Though having 2 cores less, and 10 less threads, it’s single core performance is slightly better.
So, to my question.
Here is my planned build, with the 2700x:

Should i go for
2700x with 2070
9600k with 2070
or 9700k with 2060
I will be pretty much only gaming on, as i said, 1080p@144Hz, maybe some basic coding in the future, and no video editing
Thank you for any responses.
