This is an ultra wide 1440p dream build ready

I would choose a 1700 instead of a 7700k for your needs. (livestream and video editing)

No need, the 7700k can handle Sony Vegas and render fine normal end Youtube videos, game footages and what not, ShadowPlay taxes more the GPU for recording where he is covered and to stream he can use QuickSync and put the iGPU to work on it.

 

While the Kaby Lake obviously have superior gaming performance.

Yeah it should be fine, he does say hes studying 3d animation and design too. Although more cores would be preferred, this is fine for entry level to mid level 3d rendering. Plus he can leverage the uber GPU for Mental Ray or Vray GPU rendering. Other option is to go with a 6800K maybe? it has 6 cores. But it might make it a tad pricier.

If he would insist on more cores and Intel the best pick would be the i7 5820k in my opinion because it has much higher overclocking potential to ensure gaming frames per second don't suffer as much as they will on the 6800k, the major if not only gain going with the 6800k would be better power efficiency.

 

Ryzen should only be bought for actual professional work already, otherwise the platform is hard to advise based solely on learning and gaming, for instance my brother and I made a 1800x rig but he works 24h7 with effects, 1080p video editing of wedding, graduations, events, etc... rendering times must be as small as possible since productivity means money.

 

On OP case he is still on learning process and frankly a more powerful single threaded CPU like the 7700k is still of preference.

Thats very interesting, is he happy with it? Im thinking of building a new Ryzen based render box (and plod my two older Titan X's in there) 

Sorry didn't mean to derail the OP's thread.

Agreed that he can probably put a Samsung Evo there, It is just the force of habit with SanDisks

 

FE cards are no meh, they are so beautiful.... /sob

which aftermarket one you'd consider better, the FTW3 or Strix?

We're using a Titan X Maxwell as GPU on the rig as well, you can look at it on my signature it is below my personal one, the computer certainly sweeps the floor with the old i7 3770 rig used for this purpose, and gaming is not bad, it managed to do The Witcher 3 ultra max out 2560x1080p on novigrad 60ish fps, then again that Titan X has gold silicon it's 1581mhz core clock stable on air =0

 

Any ways, Sony Vegas and Adobe run smooth with it, I'd consider a well worthy investment, yes.

Strix ftw. Oh wait...

Avid gamer, go with intel for sure. The higher clock speed looks to be the thing for nowadays games
