Go to solution Solved by Jon K.,

ok, you're about to make me go on this long tangent rant to defend myself and i don't really want too... but i'm going too... haha  so here we go.

 

First off there is this video..:

 

 

IN this video he goes over some of the FPS differences in current gen games. The differences other then (primal) are very slim.. and even farcy primal it's still above 84 FPS.

 

So is your monitor 60Hz? That means it will refresh at the rate of 60FPS.. however this isn't techincally the noticable cap. The truth is, up to 80fps is noticeable on a 60hz monitor.   But, They say that anything past 80fps isn't noticible ..  between 60-80fps the difference is the latency on the screen. not how smooth it is.

 

Bottom line if your using a 60hz monitor.. even 80fps is prob the max your going to notice anything... which the 1700 provides easily.

 

with that said.. the 1700 is cheaper.. and with more cores is going to provide a smoother experience when you do your "casual" streaming.  Streaming to twitch actually has a significant toll on the processor.  So having ryzen for that will not only make your gaming smoother but streaming easier on the system.

 

and the last thing i have is that "for now" games don't make use of multi core. (this is true)  but who's to say in 1-2 years from now games won't be coming out to take a advantage of this..  You'll be ahead of the game and ready for this if you go ryzen.

 

IMHO - ryzen is slightly cheaper, better for long term, better for streaming, and provides "almost" identical gaming experience currently... but will be better then i7's in the very near future. i would NOT throw them under the bus in your decision and toss them out.. I'd seriously think about it. They really are a good contender.

Why windows 7?

But if you don't want as good a CPU cooler and a better GPU then Herman mcpootis's build is better. £34 left for OS.

How about oc on that ryzen ? I never seen it xD im stuck to intel

with a good cooler and the newest bios, around 4ghz is the best it can go. it will do far better in streaming but will perform worse in gaming.

you can get an oc of 3.7 on all cores very easily but if you want to get to the 4.0 to 3.9 ghz range you will need a beefier cooling system like a good nactua cooler or a good AIO

the macho rev.b is actually pretty good, performs only slightly worse than the nh-d15.

I dont do that hard streming just forfun stresming cs and bf1 im still with i7 why that ryzen???

streaming is pretty intensive so a quad core like the i7 7700k wont be able to do it easily while the the ryzen is an 8 core cpu and can do it quite easily. i would imagine that battlefield 1 will be difficult to stream with the 7700k so if you just want to stream cs:go then go ahead but if you want to stream bf1 you may have some difficulties with the 7700k. if you are streaming for fun and it isn't a priority then yeah you can just go for the 7700k

anytime.  Just trying to save you the money where you don't need to spend the extra money if your not going to notice the difference.. and provide you with longer life of the machine for the future.  I hope it helped.
