Both are the "new package", not the "dodecahedral" one.

Intel Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake 3.6GHz Eight-Core LGA 1151 Boxed Processor $400 @microcenter B&M

2. For those true intel fans like me and need every extra fps in games, why not go 10700k when the whole set is cheaper than building 9900k set and get extra benefits from a higher memory clock?
Either side it's not a good "deal' standpoint, especially at 420. If considered more reasonable sandy at least 380 would be a good deal.
1. Why no point? I'm sitting on i3-8100. Here's comparison of these to stock, no oc at all i9-9900K:
https://cpu.userbenchma
Average score +55% for i9. Not oc'd. So there's clear reason to get i9-9900K or i9-9900 (no oc'able, but $30 cheaper, $370)
2. Was already addressed. New mobo needed for gen10 and short life of socket 1200 (10nm LGA1700 coming this/next year) makes staying on gen9 and skipping over gen10 viable option.

I purchased the i5-8600K 2 years ago and a issue (that was unrelated to the CPU) caused me to RMA it for a refund and allowed me to upgrade to the i5-9600K. Now understand that both 8th and 9th gen i5s are 6c/6t CPUs which is vastly underwhelming compared to the AMD equivalent in terms of multi-threading/future proofing - however for gaming OC'd @ 4.9ghz its a front runner. Fast-forward to this year and the i9-9900k is still a top tier chip and the best chip that I can get for my z390 motherboard. At a stellar price (~420) without the need to upgrade my board - it just makes sense and it will last me another few generations of chip releases.
If you are in the market for a new build, then obviously you would move to the intel 10th gen or AMD equivalent. If I were in the market for a budget build this very minute - i5 10600k and if I were to go balls out - i9-10900k. The reasoning is simple and it's because I'm primarily a gamer and Intels respond far better to overclocking (for now).

This is definitely not one of those buy-first-think-later deals, nor it's for everyone. Hence I wrote "you'll have lots of time to decide".
Whoever is even slightly interested in getting the 9900k should think before make any moves. Personally I think we are in the middle of a better part of the past decade (only speaking of CPU choices). I'm glad we have lots to pick from, all thanks to AMD.
PS. 420 was my pull-the-trigger price and I got one last week from ebay at this price .(420... hmm... maybe I'm on crack) Paired with the Noctua NH-D15, overclocked to 5G with no problem. The only question is, which will die first, the fan, or the cpu.

I bought the 9900K last year (August 2019) because I was able to price match it to something like $400. Then I realized the 9900K really was just a $300-400 CPU with an inflated price tag (an overclockable i9-9900, except it overheats when you overlock it, so just keep it stock -- like that makes sense). Returned it, and waiting it out. And here we are, 1 year later, a 9900K @ $420. Except now I think it's worth even less.
I'm sure there still is a market for this chip though, as the OP pointed out. If you already have the motherboard, then you're half way there. Otherwise, go with the 10700K.

But man, your overclocked i5 was already an @ss kicker for gaming, and likely would've stayed competitive for a couple more years.
I know the PS5 is 8c/16t, but I really don't think that's automatically going to make anything less irrelevant, at least not right away.

In short the i9-9900K has none of the pitfalls of the i5-9600K.
Another good defense is that you will be able to skip the first generation (Comet Lake) of the 1200 socket chips which do not support PCI-E 4. If you are running a Coffee Lake chip and are waiting for the chips that will support PCI-E 4 then this is the path that makes the most sense.
