Todays prices from newegg,
Ryzen R5 2600 (including heat-sink) = $165
Core i5 8600K (no heat-sink) = $270
If you will also include a heat-sink for the i5 8600K the price difference will be closer to $140-150.
Personally today I would go for the Ryzen R5 2600X at $220 (including Heat-Sink) that has a single core boost at 4.2GHz out of the box and a nice heat-sink to keep it cool and quiet.
