Ryzen 1600 or 1700

[Eclipsefang]

Alright so My issue is that I'm building a new pc but I cannot decided what ryzen cpu to go with I do gaming and video editing but both are equally important I am going with the b350 plus as the motherboard and I cannot seam to find many reviews about the 1600. I would like to overclock either one I get but not with crazy voltage because its going to be a 24/7 overclock. Is there a large difference that I should get the 1700 or 1600x or is the 1600 the best buy?

for content creators who aren't skeerd to OC, the 1700 is the best value of the Ryzen line.

The 1600 and the 1600X are the same silicon inside, so a review of the 1600X applies to the 1600 too, except a little slower at stock. Also the 1600 comes with a stock cooler and the 1600X doesn't. You should get the 1700 though.

I agree, for the extra $60 or whatever is is, I think the 1700 would be the better choice.
