i7 8700k or Ryzen 7 2700x for streaming/editing.

GPU will be a RTX 2070.
Played on 3440x1440p, looking for which route would be best for streaming games at decent quality, and have a better performance doing super-high resolution photo editing. 

Thanks!

either would be fine, I think the 2700x might be better for you because more cores

In terms of gaming performance at 1440p, the 2700x and 8700k are basically the same since there is an increased GPU bottleneck at 1440p, especially with ultrawide. The 2700x has more cores and threads so that would help with streaming and editing, so I’d go for the 2700x. It’s cheaper too

Would you think there'd be a substantial difference in performance to rake out the extra $200+ for a 2080 over the 2070? Or enough to really rationalize it? I definitely want to future proof this build cause it'll be the last one I can do for a few years.

HW unboxed did a 20 game benchmark, the graphs have the 2080 and 2080ti on them as well so you can compare the difference in fps at 1440p 

 

edit: at 9:35 they say that at 1440p the 2070 is about 18% slower on average than the 2080

I’d say it’s worth it for 1440p ultrawide

you are basically stuck with 60fps for gaming on that res and streaming, so more cores is the better choice here, 2700x, though it'll get its ass kicked by zen 2 in just 5 months.

The rumors have a decent chance to be false though.

Neither.  If your hardcore video editor then get the ThreadRipper.

just the ipc improvements and a clock bump to 4.7 (there was an engineering sample at 4.5 MONTHS ago) would result in almost a 30% increase (very basic expectations), i'm not counting on it to have 16 cores and do all-cores 5.1. We are so close to launch now that makes this a very bad time to upgrade (sales are over) unless OP doesn't have a pc to work with and needs the upgrade now.

Essentially. I can make the upgrade later down the road but I'm confined to a Macbook because my previous computer went dead.
