At the moment, grabbing the R7 1700 and overclocking it is the best choice. However, you may want to wait for Intel's Coffee Lake and see what that offers...

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

I'd imagine it does better than the i7-7700K if you're going to be gaming and streaming simultaneously.

Unlike the FX series, the Ryzen processors are actually good.

Like I said, I'd probably see what Intel offers with Coffee Lake (six cores, twelve threads on a mainstream platform) before making a decision.
