I7 7700 vs Ryzen 7 1700

[NoobNerd]

Which is better between those two? the price in my county is almost same, I7 7700 cost more $10 than 1700

 

Mostly i used for gaming, but recently i used alot multi tasking like, AFKing Game while Photoshoping and Converting Video, which burdening my current I5 4460.

[Simon771]

Too many threads like that lol

I would get Ryzen, because it's soldered.

[Salacious B Crum]

Think of Ryzen as a workstation that can game, if gaming is the first in order I would say not.

[Damascus]

I'd get the 1700, it can OC (not amazingly but still) and the extra cores are great

[AndriesM]

Look at my thread: 

 

[Brooksie359]

if you want to run other cpu intensive programs while gaming i would go with the 1700 as it has the threads for it. i mean it will be harder on a quad core to do things in the background while gaming which is why the r7 series is good for streaming as it can do both gaming and the video encoding at teh same time without negatively effecting gaming performance too much

Gaming first. Rendering can be done at night!

 

Yeah, but its more benefit if your charcter still get those AFK XP, so why dont gaming at nights too?

Haha,

My experience with gaming at night is... Falling asleep in FPS games. thats not ideal.

Your reaction time also gets slower, that's not ideal either

well seeing as you arenit planning on overclocking i would go with a b350 motherboard because they are relatively cheap and still have the possibility to do some mild overclocking while also just being of nice build quality overall. i have the msi tomahawk and it works well for me but other cheaper b350 boards would work too. also the b350 motherboard will have better resell value.

If you want the best gaming performance, get the 7700K. If you want amazing multitasking performance, get the 1700. Simple as that

if i decide for now, yep i go to 1700.

but i still fogging what future hold after i bought 1700, will i still get my rendering job as busy as now? its really huge dilema.

is its really big different for gaming between 7700 and 1700?

If you do a lot of rendering, just get the 1700, it is better for your needs.

Still waiting for answers from people.

If priority is on gaming, get 7700K.

If priority is on multitasking, rendering and such, get r7 1700

tho 7700K isn't bad at multitasking, rendering and such.

AND the 7700K has more OC headroom

[Princess Luna]

You don't capitalize the i on i7 by the way

It is very simple if you do enough multi-tasking, work, content production, editing and so on the 1700 is justified, if you just want a purely highest end gaming setup which will still carry really great performance, go i7.

 

You won't be messing with overclock, so just buy the cheapest Asus mobo you find on your retailer.

Not really  7700Ks can do 5-5.1GHz EASILY, the 1700 struggles to get 4GHz

one more question please, can 1700 run 144hz at 1080 with gtx 970?

[PCGuy_5960]

144Hz, sadly no. For high FPS, the 7700K is the way to go. Up to 120Hz is possible with Ryzen, but 144Hz is pretty much impossible (in most games anyways)

Ya. BUT the R7 1700 has 0,5Ghz OC headroom. While the 7700K can go up to 0,6 GHz

Oh,sry. I misread your comment, you are spot on there bud! 

(I thought you said that the 1700 has more OC headroom )
