Posted April 26, 2017 I'm making a new build for gaming and game development. Right now i'm looking into the i7-7700k or the r7 1700. The r7 1700 seemes better for game development, and can be overclocked to get similar performance to a 1700x or 1800x. While the i7-7700k gets better gaming preformance. I was wondering which one everyone would reccomend, and thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted April 26, 2017 1700, its long-term performance potential far outweighs the slight current gaming performance benefit of the 7700k.

Posted April 26, 2017 1700, much more versatile and when paired with fast RAM is not actually too much slower in gaming, especially when compared to the significant performance gain in professional work thanks double the cores and threads. -----> Official Unofficial Favorite Keyswitch Type Survey <----- OWNER OF THE FASTEST INTEL iGPU ON LTT UNIGINE SUPERPOSITION [lol] GAMING RIG "SNOWBLIND" CPU i5-13600k | COOLING Corsair H150i Elite Capellix 360mm (White) | MOTHERBOARD Gigabyte Z690 Aero G DDR4 | GPU Gigabyte RTX 3070 Vision OC (White) | RAM 16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB (White) | SSD Samsung 980 Pro 1TB | PSU ASUS STRIX 850W (White) | CASE Phanteks G360a (White) | HEADPHONES Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro | KEYBOARD Zoom75 (KTT Strawberry w/ GMK British Racing Green keycaps) | MOUSE Cooler Master MM711 (White) | MONITOR HP X32 1440p 165hz IPS WORK RIG "OVERPRICED BRICK" Mac Studio (M2 Ultra / 128GB / 1TB) | HEADPHONES AirPods Pro 2 | KEYBOARD Logitech MX Mechanical Mini | MOUSE Logitech MX Master 3S | MONITOR 2x Dell 4K 32" SECONDARY RIG "ALCATRAZ" CPU i7-4770K OC @ 4.3GHz | COOLING Cryorig M9i (review) | MOTHERBOARD ASUS Z87-PRO | GPU Gigabyte 1650 Super Windforce OC | RAM 16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3 1600 MHz | SSD Samsung 860 Evo 512GB | HDD Toshiba 3TB 7200RPM | PSU EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 750W | CASE NZXT H230 | HEADPHONES Sony WH-1000XM3 | KEYBOARD Corsair STRAFE - Cherry MX Brown | MOUSE Logitech G602 | MONITOR LG 34UM58-P 34" Ultrawide HOLA NIGHT THEMERS GET YOUR ASS ON NIGHT THEME OTHER TECH I OWN: MacBook Pro 16" [M1 Pro/32GB/1TB] | 2022 Volkswagen GTI | iPhone 14 Pro | Sony a6000 | Apple Watch Series 8 45mm | 2018 MBP 15" | Lenovo Flex 3 [i7-5500U, HD5500 (fastest on the forum), 8GB RAM, 256GB Samsung 840 Evo] | PS5, Xbox One & Nintendo Switch [Home Theater setup] | DJI Phantom 3 Standard | AirPods 2 | Jaybird Freedom (two pairs) & X2 [long story, PM if you want to know why I have 3 pairs of Jaybirds] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
