Considering your gaming focus, it might make sense to opt for the Ryzen 9 3900X. It offers better performance and efficiency compared to the Intel i5 9600K. For a motherboard, a reliable option would be an ASUS B550 or MSI B550M, both supporting both CPUs well.

Gaming? So far I dont see much reason to get more than 8 cores for that, and 6 cores will already do most of it. 12 and 16 core is pointless if it doesnt print you money

The Ryzen 7 3700X is considered future-proof, meeting the demands of today's most intense games while being too powerful for other uses.

No, the AMD R9 390 GPU won't cause a bottleneck with this CPU.

USA? The Ryzen 7 2700 costs around $166 and offers 8 cores plus 16 threads. Paired with an R9 390, it may struggle against newer GPUs like the 5700xt, but at a modest overclock it can match most other CPUs in 1440p resolution and only lag noticeably at 1080p high refresh. When you move up to $249 for a 9600k processor with a $30 cooler (total $279) or $310 for a 3700x..., the 166 remains a strong value. It also provides more flexibility for other tasks compared to the 9600k.
