9900x vs 270k plus

Planning a FormD T1 build with air cooling only, paired with an ASUS Prime RTX 5060 Ti.
I’m deciding between a Ryzen 9 9900X and Core Ultra 7 270K Plus. Main use is productivity/programming, with gaming being secondary.
For the 270K Plus, I’d probably power limit/undervolt it to around 120W.
Which CPU would make more sense in the T1 for the best balance of performance, thermals and noise? Also, what air cooler would you recommend for either setup?
