Hi! For your needs of gaming and light video editing, both the i7 9700K and Ryzen 7 3800X have their strengths. Consider what you use most often and weigh performance versus budget.

If you don’t skip overclocking, you’ll need to pay an additional $30 for the 3800X.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll proceed with the 3800x setting.

Consider upgrading with a 3700x and a more powerful cooler if you plan to overclock.

For your setup of mostly gaming with some video editing, the 9700K is a good choice for two main reasons: it can be overclocked and it offers higher clock speeds, which are crucial for gaming performance. While the Ryzen provides more cores that could help with editing, you’re focusing more on gaming than on video work.
