hello , i want to know wich build is better for gaming

1) gtx 1060 6gb + +i5 8600k + 16gb ram +msi z370 sli plus
2) gtx 1060 6gb + i7 7700 + 16gb ram +msi z270 sli plus
3) gtx 1070 inno3d i chillx + ryzen 1600x + 16gb ram + asus bm350 plus

3rd one, but the newer 2600X would be a better choice if you can get it - just bear in mind older motherboards would need a BIOS update.

If you wanted to go intel go and can't afford to go with an 8600K + 1070 then get an 8400 + 1070. Forget the 7700, while it is a good gamer buying a 4 core CPU now that there are all these 6 and 8 core options feels like the wrong choice to me. The 8400 is just better.

Edit: also you can use a cheaper motherboard with the non-k intel CPUs which gives you more money for the GPU.

My thoughts basically summarise to:- any 6 or 8 core ryzen or i5/i7, 16GB of RAM, any reasonable motherboard that is compatible, and the best graphics card you can afford

Gonna say 3rd. Better GPU and CPU support until at least 2020.
 
#2 is the worst option as the core-7000 series has been abandoned by Intel already.

Your best bet is #1 or #3. #3 will get you higher fps in most games because most games are GPU-limited if you have a half decent CPU. Only get #1 if you mostly play very CPU-intensive games.

Get #3 for most situations.
