So you would recommend going with Intel strictly because of the Adobe advantage but overall think AMD is better?

I'm looking to build my own PC, mostly for use with Adobe CS6 for applications such as Flash, Premiere, Illustrator, Photoshop and such. I've been doing some research and am trying to decide whether it would be better to get an AMD Ryzen (probably Threadripper 1920X) or an Intel i7-8700K. From what I've seen the Intel is better at handling single threaded work loads and has hyperthreading, while the Threadripper comes with more cores/threads which is helpful for running multiple applications at once. My question is would I benefit more from having the extra cores and threads on the AMD side or the stronger single thread support and hyperthreading on the Intel side? The PC will mostly be used for work but would like to run fairly simple games during off times. I'm also open to other suggestions such as if you think a Ryzen 7, or Intel i5 would be sufficient and let me know if something I've said is false. Thanks in advance!

I recieved my Lenovo Y50 today and changed out the default HDD Hybrid drive with a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB. I decided to change out the OS and put a copy of Windows 7 on a USB and attempted to boot from it. When I turned it on however it keeps trying to boot from EFI Network 0 for IPv4/IPv6. I thought the laptop may just not be able to detect the USB because of missing drivers so I took out the SSD and installed the Windows files straight onto it and then installed back inside the laptop. However, it still tried to boot from the EFI Network. I went into the BIOS and it detects the SSD and notes that the "Preinstalled OS License" is WIN. Can anyone tell me what I need to do? Thanks!
