Depends what you use your computer for most.

If we were talking about 1st gen Ryzen vs kaby/coffee lake, yeah intel for sure.

But now that Ryzen 2 is out, I've seen the benchmarks, Ryzen 2 is incredibly close to Intel when it comes to frame rate, while offering more cores and more threads.

I'd personally go for a Ryzen 2xxx series CPU. But if you want the absolute best gaming performance right now (again right at this moment), then intel is the way to go.

For gaming...

you need to specify what kind of gaming are you going for...
resolution and target fps depending on your monitor.
for example if you want to game on a 1440p 60hz monitor you dont need a high end cpu but when it comes to 1080p 144hz thats a different story.

For pure Gaming the best fit is the 8600K or 8700K either of these CPU's will drive the GTX 1070ti to the max..period!

Since you're mainly gonna be gaming, better go with Intel as it still has the best CPUs for gaming period. Ryzen has an edge over Intel in productivity which you won't be doing alot. IMO i7-8700k. A CPU with 6 cores and hyperthreading is better. It will push out more frames and will run for a long time.
