In this aspect, the Ryzen 7 based system edges out in terms of pricing, being $62.47 cheaper.

This can be easily be tossed into an additional 1tb hard drive, or a PSU upgrade to ensure the longevity of the system as well as lower power draw from the wall.

As for performance, CPU Benchmark is used.

With the i7 6800k obtaining 13 588 on PassMark and R7 1700X obtaining 14 650. Thus a 7.8% increase in performance.

The sole reason that the Ryzen system can be cheaper is caused by the expensive pricing of the LGA 2011-3 motherboards over the AM4 motherboards.

Also to note, passmark in no way reflects on gaming performance as games rely heavily on single core performance rather than multi core.

TL:DR

In short, the Ryzen system is the pick for performance as well as pricing.

The only shortcomings it has is the limited PCIE lanes compared to the X99 chipset as well as intel optane technology.
