Option 3: Something with a power supply that won't go boom.

 

Also, H270 boards will do nothing for a K processor. If you're going with a locked board, buy a locked CPU.

Are you only gaming? Get the 7700k.
Are you streaming, 3D rendering or something else that likes more cores? Consider the Ryzen.

Also, get a power supply from a more reputable manufacturer such as EVGA or Corsair, it's not much more money and a lot safer.

If your doing more then just gaming, option 1

 

Just gaming option 2

I highly recommend the Corsair CXM, RX and RXi series, or the Seasonic S12II/M12II.

 

The only real problem I see with either build is the H270 board in the Intel option. If you want to overclock, you need a Z270 board. If you don't want to overclock, don't spend the extra money on a 7700K when a 7700 will do just as well.

 

Beyond that, it's all about your use case. For sheer gaming horsepower, nothing beats a 7700K. If you're looking at productivity tasks like video rendering, Photoshop or database manipulation, Ryzen will win. For 90% of people, the cheaper of the two options is the better, as they'll never tax the system enough to know the difference in routine use.
