All three chips are excellent high-end processors. However, with the recent price drops, the Ryzen 7 3700X is a much better value for money CPU. Even if you’re looking to build a gaming-centric PC, it’s better to opt for the Matisse part, avoiding the 9700K. You’re basically looking at like 5% more FPS in games for an extra $100 and significantly worse content creation performance. Not worth it. I’d suggest investing in the 3700X or the 3800X if you’re into overclocking. Both the chips offer much better performance per dollar and performance per watt. In gaming, they may be slightly behind their Intel rivals, they’re much faster in everything else and cost notably less.

For purely gaming-centric workloads, the Core i7-9700K is hands down the best processor. You can expect as much as 300 FPS in all modern games provided there are no GPU bottlenecks. With eight cores running at a base clock of 3.6GHz and a boost of 4.9GHz, you’re basically getting an i9 without hyperthreading and a slightly lower operating frequency. The AMD alternative, the Ryzen 7 3700X costs $269. For $69 less, you get markedly higher multi-threaded and slightly worse gaming performance.
