I'm looking at these two bundles, the only difference being the motherboard and i'm a noob so I wanted to hear opinions on the differences to decide which I should get.

(Phantom Gaming SLI/ac vs Phantom Gaming 9)

I plan on putting an RTX 2070 in it.

As far as I can see with Gaming 9 you get built in wi fi and better LAN and audio. And also better VRM, but don't count on overclocking.

@PfizersaurusRex: Adding on to this, don't rely on the built in wifi without doing research on its effectiveness. I got an Asus motherboard and the built in wifi is terrible (doesn't affect me because I use Ethernet).

@poony85: Phantom Gaming 9 is the better MOBO, question is do you need the extra features? when picking up MOBOs it's all about the features.

I would forget the 9900k dont feed intel with their terrible pricing.....

Ryzen 2700x is good especially at 1440p/4k , Ryzen 3's coming out going to destroy Intel coffeelake in performance to cost, i7 8700k provides virtually same gaming performance as 9900k....

Bang for buck options. The 9900K is when you need best performance possible.
