1800X lags behind in gaming benchmarks. Check out the benchmarks on page 13... http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3327589/amd-ryzen-megathread-faq-resources.html
7700k excels in most of the games if not all. There is no point spending 1700 dollars on a cpu for gaming.

Unlocked Skylake/Kaby Lake i7 processors are better than Ryzen R7 processors currently due to two reasons. First of all, they're much more optimized to current games and programs. Second of all (this is important to games that make use of <4 cores), they have superior IPC.
Ryzen's IPC I'd say is on par with Haswell. Broadwell, on average, is 5% better clock-for-clock.
Yes, Ryzen is weaker than Broadwell, which is weaker than Skylake/Kaby Lake (latter provides 0% IPC over former). Ryzen, however, is much cheaper than Broadwell.
Just needed to get that off my chest. As for the topic, the best gaming processor *right now* is the i7-7700k for games that mainly use <4 cores. For games that make use of more cores than that, the i7-6850k and the i7-6900k are better depending on how many cores/threads utilized. Ryzen will soon get optimized, and hang out there with Broadwell-E, but right now, it's inferior.

Check out the benchmarks here on page 13... http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3327589/amd-ryzen-megathread-faq-resources.html and you will know yourself.
About the question of whether it will get optimized or when it will get optimized and how much improvement will we see, thats a hell lot of speculation for which there is nothing definitive yet. For now, if you have gaming in mind, look no further than 7700k.

Things might change a bit with Ryzen 3 and 5, specially 5. 7 was not targeted for gaming anyways, atleast not the general gaming mass.

7700K...right now.
Bench's for the Ryzen look alright, but right now, in the moment, the i7 is still holding out. Not terribly better, but still on top. This could change as games move to more cores, but I feel like this still is a long way down the road ESPECIALLY considering the power the console market has to shape things in gaming.
If you want the one that runs the fastest and performs the best most, almost all, of the time it's the I7 right now.
