Well one uses DDR4 and the other uses DDR2 or DDR3.  So what is your RAM budget?

 

Edit:

 

@Jurrunio Has confirmed it is DDR3.  Thank you for helping me be lazy.  I couldn't remember.

I'd go for 2200g because of future upgrade potential and more modern mobo features (m.2, DDR4 support, etc)

AM4 will give you a much easier upgrade path.

If you get the i7-2600, you HAVE to get DDR3. If you get the 2200g, you HAVE to get DDR4.

 

Going for the 2200g on AM4 means in a few years you can get a newer, faster chip on the used market. Getting the i7-2600 will lock you down, since that's basically the fastest chip on the platform.
