Cpu, mobo and ram upgrade options

[ED209]

So, my motherboard has finally given up and now will not stay on for any longer than a few minutes.

My budget for a new processor, mobo, and ram is £500 and after having a little look online my options are a I5 9600k or AMD 2700x.

The rest of my pc is as follows. 1080p monitor @ 60fps, Saphhire Nitro 390 8gb, 2 x 250gb ssds, 750w Corsair builders modular psu with a 240 sip rad for the cpu.

I mainly use my pc for gaming and web browsing and the odd video editing

Edit.... just had a thought of a i7 8700 (nonk) as this is not much more than a 9600k

Thanks for the reply, What about this?

Just noticed this is a 8 core 8 thread processor and the 8700k is a 6 core 12 thread with the 9900k being 8 cores and 16 threads so seems it's down to the 9700k or the 8700k​

Cheers everyone.

What are people's thoughts on the 9700k and 8700k? The 9700k is a 8c 8t processor and the 8700k is a 6c and 12t processor. Which would be better for gaming?
