And why would you choose 1700 over 2600?

out of core i5 9400F and ryzen 1700,which would be better suited solely for gaming?Would the latter be more future proof,considering it has more cores and is a SMT enabled cpu?

Go with AMD Ryzen 5 2600X which is the best gaming CPU as of you according to tomshardware.

Don't buy 1st gen ryzen now if gaming is your main usage.At least go for 2nd gen ryzen or intel(but note that prices may jump even more as there are reports predicting worsening supply of intel processors later this year).

how does an older haswell like the i7 4790k hold up today,as far as gaming is concerned?Is it speedier than even a ryzen 1600/1700 while performing gaming related tasks?

AMD Ryzen Zen 2 Processors May Not Work With 300-Series Motherboards

 

[quicky008]

4790k is appears to be a capable processor-as a haswell i5 user,do you think i'd benefit from upgrading to a 4790k?I've seen lots of people selling off used 4790ks on olx and similar sites-the reason i want to change the cpu is to be able to run more demanding games that require greater cpu power.

its ironic that the newer zen 2 cpus wont work with older 300 series mobos-so much for AMD's assurance that they will continue to support the platform till 2020!

if it turns out to be true then they will be no better than intel in this regard (who changes their supported cpu sockets frequently)and there will be no compelling reason to go for an amd system anymore.

 

[whitestar_999]

First of all,as per the above article it is up to mobo manufacturers who can choose to make 300 series mobos compatible with zen 3xxx but have decided not to because of slowing sales in part due to intel processor shortage. Second,even with this AMD is still a good option because you still have the choice to upgrade up to 2700x on older 300 series mobos.
