I cannot see any reason to pick the i5 over Ryzen.

Editing video the Ryzen wins. For gaming there is little between today but as games are starting to utilise more than 4 threads Ryzen looks a better investment. If it was my money I cannot see any scenario where I would pick the i5

Is Ryzen better? I see commentary of people talking about ''Waste your money with Intel''

This one is actually easy. If you are comparing a Ryzen 1600 vs a 7500, there is no comparison, you have to go with the 1600.

Now with a i5 7600k, there is some logical arguments to be made for gaming. But still go with the 1600 and don't look back.

I am not some AMD fanboy either, I have a 7700k and it is a wonderful processor. But the Ryzen chips are very good chips that offer great performance per $$$.
