My question is pretty simple, I want the best CPU for the Asus gtx 1060 6gb rog strix video card. Can you recommend one?

I was thinking about the i5 7600, or Ryzen 5 1500x, but I'm not sure which one to choose.

Thanks!
 
Im looking for a cpu which will not bottleneck the GPU. I want to use it for 1080p gaming and also video editing (4K). My budget top is the price of the i5 7600k or 1600x. (But for those I dont really have the money for better motherboard to overclock, and I would need to spend on cooler)
