If you want to build a custom PC for gaming, streaming and programming (like Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning) then you can pick one of them according to your budget.
Intel Is Legend
Till now most of people knows that AMD processors are made for gaming and generates large amount of heat, only Intel brand is safe here. But that is not true, we know that Intel is legend while AMD is beginning their journey (Intel is like as Apple smartphone and AMD as Xiaomi brand, both are good Intel have large fan following because of its features like security and high single core performance on the other hand AMD is using a price to performance ratio. AMD developed APU (Accelerate Processing Unit), this is a term that only AMD is using for its products. We can say that APUs are the combination of CPU+GPU. That time GPU come within motherboard or we have to purchase it separately (External GPU), which placed on PCI expansion slots on motherboard. So the overall cost of a PC got too high, to overcome this cost AMD introduce their APUs within low prices which comes with integrated GPU, now we don’t need to purchase expensive motherboard or external GPU card.
Intel used this techniques to later on their CPU and also cut down their CPU prices.
Compare I9 9900K, R9 3900X and R7 3700X
Here we are comparing these three consumer processors I9 9900K, R9 3900X and R7 3700X, All these offers best performance according to their price.

Now AMD is Powerful
When AMD launch their First Generation processor, they generates lots of heat, so they are not suitable for mobile computing. They would not successful in Laptop or Mobile platform (Heating was causing Battery Drain problem). But Zen 2 architecture of AMD took advantage over it, now these processor generating less heat and they increase performance also with hyper threading techniques. Now AMD was offering more core and threads within low price from Intel.
And Today only AMD has the first, 12 Cores 24 Threads gaming processor at only $499. And AMD is the First who shocked Intel via PCI Expression Version 4.0 before their launch.
Intel is only for gaming (Gaming King Intel)
Many reviewer benchmark I9 3900K and R9 3900X, they published result in favor of Intel in gaming benchmark and off course AMD won in rendering benchmark. But how it possible 8 core 16 threads Intel I9 9900K is winner in gaming, we examine the result and find that Intel can use higher frequency with the help of software and algorithm. This technique is similar as Google pixel phones, these phones capture very attractive and clean photos with the help of Google Camera software while other companies use same camera sensors and they don’t do that photography. Conclusion is that Intel is wining via their complex algorithms and software technique which help it to fully and efficient utilization.
Why i am choosing R7 3700X
Ryzen R7 3700X is middle range powerful CPU which comes with 8 cores and 16 threads same as intel I9 9900K within $350 (around Rs 30,000). I am not a hardcore gamer but R7 3700X can play games 4K on medium setting and 1080P ultra setting, along with the best graphics card like RTX 2070 Super or RX 5700X (Both are good enough). R7 is also best for productivity task like video editing and rendering, Animation, Programming and 3D workload also. I want to run Machine Learning algorithm, so i am choosing this processor and i will use RTX 2060 Super along with it, which would offer Real time Ray Tracing. The main reason behind purchasing R7 3700X is, its offering PCI Express 4.0, which is faster than PCI 3.0. We also getting a Wraith Prism (RGB) LED CPU cooler, which is enough powerful to cool R7 3700X on stock performance.
As we know X570 Motherboard are too expensive.
As we know if we purchase I9 9900K, we have to purchase a AIO (Liquid cooler) and we will not run this processor without any graphics card, so we have to purchase a graphic card also at any cost.
