Personally I'd recommend the Ryzen 5 2600 and a 1660 Ti if you can afford it.
That's what I have and I love it.
You should wait a month or two and see if CPU prices drop once the Ryzen 3000's get formally announced.

9400F has a passmark rating of 12188 and a single thread rating of 2390
ryzen 2600 has a rating of 13530 and a single thread rating of 2006.
Approximately even. faster single thread performance of the 9400F is good for gaming.
Better total rating of the 2600 is better for multithreaded batch apps.

For gaming, go with option1 and the stronger GTX1660ti card.
