For gaming still the Intell i7 7700K.

I heard that 1800x is pretty good on gaming also.Any advices are appreciated.

All reviews show that 1800X is not as good at gaming currently. It will still do well at higher than 1080P res.

You heard wrong.
I heard the FX was good well that was wrong then they released new ones that was wrong, then they up the clock rate to 5.0 with a 220 watt chip and that was low down not only wrong and people actually bought them.

If gaming is the primary purpose go with the 7700k. It's cheaper and performs better in most games as it still holds the best single threaded performance . Now if you were doing alot of heavily multi-threaded tasks and just playing the occasional game then Ryzen would be the way to go.

The 1700/1700x will probably be better for you. You can oc them to roughly the same speed as an 1800x save a good bit of money, and it'll game pretty solidly (admittedly a bit behind a 7700k) but in tougher to run games while streaming those extra cores come in handy, and make a giant difference on the editing side.

I think the 1700X or 1800X will serve you better. When you're just gaming, the 7700K will be faster, but when you game while streaming, the extra cores from AMD will serve you well. In editing, AMD will perform way above the 7700K.

Games depend on a few fast threads.
Few games can utilize more than 2-3.

Remember, the ryzen 1800x is a $500 cpu.
Even the cheapest 1700 is $325.

You are better off for gaming with a i7-7700K at $325.

Actually, I think the i5-7600K with an overclock for $225 is the smart gaming buy if you have any sort of a budget.

From what I've seen the only CPU that makes sense is the 1700 every test I've seen shows every one of the cpus clocks from 4.0-4.2 max reasonable oc voltage no reason to pay the premium.
