Hy everyone,
I'm close to upgrade from a i7 7700hq-gtx 1050ti laptop to a desktop, with a 1750€ budget.
My main usage will be editing, along with some gaming and 3d modeling/rendering.
Should i go for ryzen 5 1600/rx vega 64 or ryzen 7 1700/gtx 1070? Other parts will be:16gb ddr4 3200mhz, a samsung 960 evo 250gb ssd, a 1tb seagate barracuda drive, the phanteks enthoo shift case and a silverstone 600w 80 plus gold psu.
Thanks for your help

Went for i7-8700K over R7 1700 because it has equally good multi-core performance while having far superior single-core performance. This is suitable for all kinds of workload.
