There's two types of one percenters. The rich elite and people who are lucky enough to live anywhere near a Micro Center.
Core i9, only 80 dollars more for less performance.

Here is a good article comparing the top two current consumer chips:

Basically, if all you do is game, 9900K is best only if all you do is game.

A lot lower once Zen 3 comes out later this year (I mean you can get 2600x at Microcenter for $99 now and that was a $219 chip brand new when it came out), but this is by far the best price this has ever been right now, a great alternative to a 9900K which is still at least $50 more wherever you look and this trounces it in any heavier multi-threaded tasks. 10th gen chips cant come soon enough for Intel.

If there's 1 thing to love about Ryzen is they arent afraid to deeply discount these things as time goes on where Intel is way more hesitant.

MicroCenter has AMD 3900x processor, 12 core/24 thread at $400, plus $20 discount if bundle with motherboard. In store only so YMMV.
