I have two combos of cpu/gpu to go after with a new monitor I'm buying today that is 27" 1440p and 144hz.
That would be the Ryzen 5 2600 + EVGA RTX 2070 XC or the i7-8700k + MSI GTX 1070 TI DUKE.
Like I said this would be at 1440p so I don't know how big of a difference the CPU would make. I like the RTX 2070 obviously, but for higher refresh rate I don't know if it would be better to stick to the i7. I know I wouldn't be able to do 144hz consistently with every game, but which combo would be better in general and for the long term (for the Ryzen I can upgrade when Ryzen 3 comes out next year as well since I'm getting an X470 ASUS Prime board. Intel I would be stuck with for a few years at least).
Main games I play/want to play are:
World of Warcraft (most important one. Which would be better for this?)
Battlefield V & 1
Rainbow Six Siege
Fortnite
PUBG
Tomb Raider games
Grand Theft Auto V
Assassin's Creed Odyssey
