Intel or AMD? Gaming PC

[RUNitsArkain]

Here are 2 builds I've made AMD Ryzen 7 1700 & Intel i7 7700k. Now I'm an avid gamer, I do not and will not stream/edit so which one should I go for 7700k or 1700 there's been some controversy between the two chips I'm just looking for guidance - this will be my first build.

I'd go for AMD. Unless you care about gaming and only gaming and nothing else but gaming, than I'd go for Intel.

I should but they do not have everything there hence me just doing it in an excel document.

if all your doing is gaming, 1500x it performs almost the same as the 7700k, but for a fraction of the price

. If you are going with Intel don't get the 7700k, get the 6600k. It's the same for gaming.
