Ordered a PC from PC Specialist featuring Ryzen 7 3700X. Some reviews suggest an Intel i5 9600K offers better performance for the price. Thoughts?

3600 offers the most excellent performance for its price. The 9600k has almost no edge due to its single-core clock speed. Still, the 3700x clearly stands out as the superior choice in about 99% of cases.

You don't require the R7 3700X for gaming; consider saving the funds or allocating them elsewhere.

For gaming, the 3700x chip appears more suitable since benchmarks show the i5 outperforms it. This might seem surprising at first.

You can observe their performance differences here: https://www.techspot.com/review/1871-amd-ryzen-3600/. From what I notice, the 3600 and 3700 models are comparable and outperform the 9600 at 1080p, but lag behind at 1440p.

For pure gaming, the R5 3600 stands out as the top choice. It offers performance comparable to the R7 3700X, while the R7 3700X should not be overlooked due to its 6c/6t configuration, which is quite restrictive.

At 2600 and 3600 MHz, the differences are noticeable. Single-core speed and gaming performance vary accordingly.
