Ryzen 1600x or I5 7600k - for gaming

[ManoAamer]

Hi all,

I have a gtx 1060 6gb.
I am going to buy a new CPU and I am confused between the 1600x and the 7600k.
I am gaming and going to record videos for my youtube channel, The 7600k has better frame rates in gaming but they say the 1600x is better for recording because it has more cores. And people say that there are screen recorders that use the GPU not the CPU so i have a few questions.

1- If i am going to use a gpu recorder is the 7600k is going to be better for me?

2- What would be better a Ryzen and a cpu screen recorder or an I5 and a gpu screen recorder?

3- Is it true that the 1600x will be better than the 7600k in future gaming?

4- Are 8GB of ram going to be enough or i will need 16GB of ram?

The differences in FPS between a Ryzen 5 and i7 7700k with any main stream video card is very little. The 1600 for $199 comes with a decent CPU cooler. It offers the best bang for the buck, and will overclock the same as the 1600x. 3.9-4.1GHz depending on the silicon lottery! Also, the CPU load playing games will be less on the 6 and 8 core systems while gaming. Ryzen 1800X has been tested to be better than Intel systems including Intel's 8 core 6900k when it comes to streaming games. The 1700($299) comes with a CPU cooler and can overclock to be as effective as the 1800x. Also, AMD will be using the same socket, so you can upgrade to the next generation Ryzen CPU that comes out next year.

"Today we pit the AMD Ryzen 5 1400 against the Intel i7 7700k with the Radeon and Geforce Mid-Range Champions (The RX 580 & GTX 1060 Cards) to see how much of a difference there is and also whether the performance you could gain off a 7700k is worth it when compared to the Ryzen 5 1400. Everything in this comparison was overclocked to relatively normal levels for air and water overclocks."

Would the i7 7700K fold under the pressure of live encoding SO MUCH that it begins to lag behind the Ryzen 7 1700 in gaming performance? A must-watch for streamers looking to build a new PC!
