Budget pc
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.
