I would highly recommend Ryzen over Intel. The Ryzen 3700x performs slightly worse in gaming than the comparable core i7. The i7 is slightly better with single-thread applications (such as gaming), but AMD absolutely destroys Intel when it comes to multi-thread applications (such as editing and CAD, significantly reducing the time it takes to render things). The Ryzen 7 3700x is also cheaper than the comparable 8-core i7. I would simply ask you this; What matters more to you, a slightly noticeable increase of game fps, or would you rather have a machine that is a great editing rig, that can game very well?
