why amd?

i'd personally would go for ryzen due to the extra cores and upgrade path. With the 7700k u might have a bios issue unless they flashed support for kaky lake on them standard yet.

extra cores (games might use extra cores later on)

upgrade path

future hobbies you might want to do that needs them cores

better GPU

the 2 extra cores are always nice for stuff you do/use while gaming and who knows what the game devs do now we got all these cores.

For pure fps u want the 7700k but i'm not sure how long that platform is going to last.

Still better value for the $ at 800$

definitely the ryzen build . The only reason kaby lakes ( the 7700k ) excels at gaming is because of high clock speeds ( and high single core perf ). the 7700 is not only locked , it's also slower than the 7700k  ( at 3.6ghz ) .

By going with the 7700 , you're effectively getting rid of the only advantage kaby lake has over ryzen . The 1600 is overclockable and has more cores.

AMD wins, not because of the CPU, since they're both equal-ish in that regard, but because with the AMD build, it's cheaper, and the GPU can be much better.

RX 480 is better by a mile than 1050Ti

better minimum framerate even if you're not editing/streaming.

the i7 7700 is a processor you pair with a GTX 1080ti not a 1050ti so the ryzen build makes more sense as it is much more balanced.

The Ryzen build is tons more better
