So pretty much I need a new computer and I am stuck in between these two I was wondering what may be better for gaming and streaming.

1st:
Ryzen 7 1700 (3 ghz)
16gb Ram (ddr4-2400)
Rx 550 (4gb ddr5)

2nd:
Intel i5 8400 (2.8 ghz)
Gtx 1050TI (4gb ddr5)
8gb ram (ddr4-2666)

Which one is better for gaming/streaming?
 
Solution
The 1050ti is a TON better for gaming than the RX 550. The RX 550 will struggle with anything over 720p resolution. The 1050ti is an excellent GPU for 1080p gaming.

As Rdslw said, the Ryzen 7 1700 is an excellent CPU for streaming. But the i5-8400 however, is an excellent gaming CPU. Given those two options, the Intel system with the 1050ti is a no-brainer. If those are your only options get the Intel system for sure.
