Considering your needs for both gaming and photo/video editing, you might want to compare the i7 9700F and i7 9700. Both offer strong performance, but the 9700F is generally better suited for demanding tasks like video editing.

The main distinction lies in the absence of an integrated GPU (and consequently QuickSync) on the F-series models. All other features remain identical. For gaming, omitting the iGPU won’t affect performance noticeably. Photo and video editing will show no variation unless your software or hardware relies on Intel QuickSync.

Verify if your software relies on Quick Sync. If absent, the F version should suffice. Another consideration is whether an iGPU provides a backup if your main GPU fails—this is especially useful with an 3700x as an alternative. If your video editing tool doesn’t require QuickSync, opt for a CPU over an i7. This choice offers double threads, even though single-core performance drops slightly. FPS in games typically won’t be significantly affected by resolution, frame rate goals, or card type.
