You're weighing two strong options for your first PC. The i5 10600K shines in gaming benchmarks, while the Ryzen 7 3700X offers superior performance across all tasks with only a slight gaming penalty. Since you mainly use it for gaming and rarely handle video editing or other intensive work, the Ryzen might give you better value overall.

The later option shows only a 5% variation, which won’t stand out much if you go with a less powerful graphics card.

You mentioned it yourself. The 10600K suits gaming better, while the 3700X performs well across most areas. Another factor to think about is that upcoming consoles will use 8C/16T Zen 2 CPUs, which could make the 3700X a stronger option for gaming eventually—though this isn't certain. It really depends on how developers optimize their games in the future.

I’m considering matching it with a 2070 model and wondering if the difference will stand out in this setting.

Probability suggests a small margin—likely under 1%. Processing will remain heavily dependent on the GPU rather than the CPU. Gaming engines are increasingly refined for multicore processors.

Requires a 2080 Ti processor running at 1080p for optimal performance. Obtain the 3700X.

For pure gaming, the i5 10600k stands out as a top mid-range CPU option. When you check gaming benchmarks, it even outperforms the i9 10900k in certain titles. In the UK market, you can find it at prices below 3700x right now, and even lower if you opt for the i5 10600KF model.
