[SOLVED] Which is better for gaming?

[amitbanik40lava]

Hey so I was thinking about buying a Gaming PC for pure gaming and a bit of mild video editing....
I am building a specs :-
Gigabyte Z370 / Z390
RTX 2070
16gb ddr4@3200mhz
CoolerMaster v1000 PSU
280-360mm liquid cooling by CoolerMaster or NZXT..

I am confused between the i7 8700K and 9700K... I want my PC a bit of future proof....

Considering the i7 9700k has less cache per core, does that affect my gaming experience or other?

8th generation I7 have hyperthreading 6 cores and 12 threads
9th generation I7 do not have hyperthreading but have 8 cores and 8 threads.

Performance benchmarks put the 9700K abit ahead of the 8700K...

If the main reason for the PC is gaming then you should get the 8700K, you will get the same fps for a 40$ less and the CPU is good for video editing.
