Best Ryzen CPU for gaming?

[MichaelTS]

I don't know whether to get the Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 for gaming. I intend to pair it with the RX480.

strictly gaming? ryzen is for multitasking, with the intel core iXXXXXX soundly beating it in gaming.

the ryzen 1600 overclocked to 4ghz. see wheather u want a custom cooler like the sythe mugen 5 if ur overlcock is running too hot or loud for ur liking.
