Hello!

 

I'm thinking between Ryzen 5 1600x and i7 7700k for a gaming pc what would be used for light editing sometimes. What CPU do you guys recommend?

 

Thank you!

Depends on what games do you play.

New very demanding titles or older games?

The ryzen r5 1600x would be the best to use. It's value over performance out ways intels i7  win in some applications. Also the 1600 is a better value over the 1600x. The only difference is the 1600x can overclock itself.

Wouldn't that rely more on the GPU? I think the determining factor would be how much video rendering and editing he would do.

i only recommend Ryzen for 

anything below or above a 7700k atm. honestly there are ways to do mostly anything on mostly any cpu and you will be content with any modern cpu. as for gaming unless you are high refresh rate gaming such as 144hz 1080p then you will never miss the few extra frames the i7 can provide but you can certainly take advantage of the extra processing power the Ryzen offers under workloads and if you run many processes while gaming
