Put a few filters on PCPP and you'll know.

 

Plus, if we wanted to tell you the answer we would need to know the features you need and the size of mobo you want.

R5 1600 + a cheap  B350 motherboard will outperform a 7600K in every way accept for max averages.

Absolutely.  6c/12t and with some decent RAM it may even outperform the 7600k on averages

And the ryzen chip will leave more cpu usage than 7600K that uses 80% average in gaming. While ryzen only costs 50% of their usage
