R7 hype.

- An R5 would allow a better GPU for their budget
- They also do some kind of workstation/content creation making the 1600/1700 a more well rounded purchase for all their needs.
Holy shit yes
This is the golden comment to solve the thread.
In most cases, the 7700(K) is better than Ryzen in gaming today, although the day-one benchmarks the OP posted show Ryzen as disproportionally behind.
However, since Ryzen offers nearly-identical performance as a lower price, it's almost always worth it to buy a Ryzen, and get a better GPU. Tech Dudes like Ryzen because it allows for more of a build budget to be spent on a GPU. If someone wants to game at 144Hz, I'm confident that no experienced forum user would recommend anything other than a 7700K
also, a Ryzen 1600 is basically the same as a 1700 for gaming, since games don't use 8c/16t anyway.
