Pros & Cons
Pros

My i9 is paired with an amd rx 6800xt and im all good.
Honestly, you ll win either way, but the difference between intel i9 9900k/kf and ryzen 5600x its none existent in games.
The 11th gen from intel won t be that different from the 10th gen and it won t match ryzen 5000 series perfomance in any way.

I9 9900kkf have more resources do to the thread number 8 vs 16 which will help the i9 to run at half of its capacity
