Posted August 3, 2017 Looking to build a new system. My main use is gaming with occasional video editing and photoshop. Which CPU makes the most sense for me? Should I wait for Coffee Lake? Researching ive seen the 1700x beat the 7700K in gaming and other sources have the 7700K beating the 1700x in gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 3, 2017 Photoshop is pretty lightly threaded, a 7700k or 8700k would be better there. A 7700k is better for gaming then Ryzen.

Posted August 3, 2017 Intel will be better at gaming and unless it needs true multi-threading, intel will win due to IPC. Depends on prices too, i would go 1600X if considering AMD TBH.

Coffee Lake likely to be 400+, most games the 7700k is faster when entirely CPU bound but there are quite a few newer games that the 1700 can match the 7700k in, especially those that run Vulkan/DX12. 5 minutes ago, rn8686 said: Photoshop is pretty lightly threaded, a 7700k or 8700k would be better there.

I would wait for CFL at this point. Hopefully, it'll be great and come with a ring bus making those hexa-cores much better than the 7700K vs 7800K.
