Upgrading my old unit

So I already bought some parts for my upgrade

 

PSU: Seasonic M12  620W(full modular)

RAM: 1 Hyper X DDR4 (2400mHz 8gb)

MOBO: (depends on what cpu I will buy)

SOFTWARES will be use: Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects, (1080p60ps, 1080p or 720p60fs, 720p) and OBS for streaming.

 

 

 

 

Right now I'm struggling which CPU should I use. Should I go to (Intel i5 8400 or Ryzen 5 1600)

So..the main purpose of my upgrade is to stream, (2017 to 2018 play AAA games) and rendering.

My monitor is cheap  $130  23.5"  resolution is 1080 60hz

 

Can you guys give me the pros and cons of the two cpu?
