Just marginally, both of them are quite capable of gaming and applications.
The difference can be over 10 FPS depending on the actual games played. (Stock clocks)
Same as jumping a series in GPU depending.
Depends on the game, & most of the tests at stock show it more like 5 FPS, not 10, with the percentage difference usually around 5%...& that was at 1080p. Once they hit 1440p or 4K, the differences in gaming disappear.
Since the OP specifically mentioned he would not just be gaming, but would be running other tasks, Tom's review suggests that the R7 2700X is the better choice (https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/amd-ryzen-7-2700x-review,5571.html).
Which bits in that suggest the 2700x is the better choice? The 8700k wins in the majority of gaming/productivity tests that I can see?
Rendering: Cinebench R15 (multi-core), POV-RAY (multi-core), Corona 1.3 (multi-core), LuxMark...all tests where at stock speeds the 2700X easily beat the i7-8700K. I left out Blender 2.78c (R7 only beat the i7 by 2 seconds). Of the other rendering tests, in both of the PCMark 10 scr1pted workloads the R7 was only 3% lower in its benchmarks than the i7 (not exactly a "big" win for the i7). And unless you can guarantee that only single-threaded situations will be used, the single-threaded results don't really matter.
Encoding/Compression: 7-Zip 17.01 Compression (multi-core) & Decompression (multi-core), & Handbrake (using H.264 codec) easily won by the R7 with both at stock speeds. Again, not counting R7's win in LAME (only beat the i7 by 3/4ths of a second), just as the i7 doesn't really get it count its Y-Cruncher multi-core win (just under 2 seconds faster than the R7). The only significant win was in Handbrake when the H.265 codec is used...but even then, although the i7 managed to shave just under 4 minutes of the encoding time, is 4 minutes as significant when it still takes the i7 over 34 minutes to complete the job?
I'll give you the majority of the browser benchmark "numbers" show a 10% advantage for the i7...but the only 1 that had an actual real-time figure (Kraken Javascr1pt v1.1) showed only a 61 millisecond edge for the i7, not exactly a significant number. And for the productivity (Video Conferencing, Spreadsheet, etc.), the i7 only won 3 of those, with the other 2 going to Ryzen (by roughly the same margins, BTW).
Same with the Adobe Photoshop results. Of the 5 timed tests, the i7's "win" over the R7 is measured in tenths of a second. Blink & you'll miss the difference. The 5th one showed a 5-second difference, but when the i7 takes 56 seconds to complete the job it's still within a 10% margin.
The TL:DR version: the i7 didn't even come close to sweeping the tests, & in pretty much every test they were both so close to each other that you can't necessarily pick a clear winner, so it comes down to whether your applications prefer higher frequencies or more cores.
