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.

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

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.

What games? 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.

Only at high refresh rates in multiplayer FPSs.

i5 would run the game quite well, shell out for Knight's Landing dodeca-core for this one, and up to each game. 

 

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.
