Ok here its my 2 builds (R7 1700 or i7 7700K)

Im finally upgrading from my old i5-760. It'll be only for gaming and there looks like 7700K wins but I want it for future-proofing too because well, just look how much time I kept my i5. I've saw other theads and some people says that look what happened with old 2 Cores and new 4 Cores (nehalem iirc) that at first those 2 Cores were winning in games. But if thats so wouldn't the i7-7700K still win in games because of 8 threads?(if when games uses 8 Cores like past 2 Cores to Quad cores).

Here are my two builds:

What refresh rate? If you're going for 144hz monitor then get a 7700k as many titles stop in the 110-130 fps range on a 1700. If you're going 1440p or 4k then the ryzen build might be more future proof

I have a curved 60 hz 1080p monitor and Im not chaning it in the near future as I just bought it so yeah 60hz.
But is really the ryzen more future proof ? I mean if now there is 100 fps in Ryzen and 130 fps in i7, future games will be like 40 fps Ryzen and 70 fps i7?)

No, they won't start using less cores. It'll only go up. There are already a couple of titles where a 1700 beats a 7700k. As bioses and programs get optimized for ryzen it that number will only increase.

Oh i see then Im all for the future-proof. About the RAM will matter a lot like from 2600 to 3000? From what I saw theres issues with the RAM running at 2666 MHz whatever you buy, unless you buy the specifics QVL, thing Im not doing cos they cheapest 3200 compatible is 176€ (or buying X370 mobo) and that goes beyond my budget, so im buying that 3200 MHz RAM and well at least will be 2666 MHz

Yeah just pick something 2666 or above. Gaming wise there isn't much difference. I've had a hand in a 1700x build that reached 3000 MHz actually ran an oc to 3200 on the ram but it was a x370 board. Don't know if it's hit or miss or what the deal is. Usually bios updates can help ram out a lot. I suspect that will be the case here.
