I'm about to start building a new gaming PC (will only be used for gaming) and wanted to know which is the better CPU for gaming - the 8700k or the 9700k? At the moment the price between the two is pretty similar with around £20 difference so will buy whichever one I'm going to get better gaming performance from after overclocking.

Main hardware I'm using -

Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Pro Motherboard
Gigabyte Aorus RTX 2070 Xtreme
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB @ 3200 mhz
Noctua NH-U14S cooler

Any advice will be much appreciated.
