So, I was checking prices and the 7700k is 20 dollars more in CAD than the Ryzen 1700 so I may as well take the unlocked processor. I'll keep an eye out for when a mobo bundle ends up existing :D Only need 1 gfx card slot, don't see myself doing 2 cards anytime soon. Thanks for the help friends. Or I could get a 6700k with mobo for only 620 hrmmmmm While the difference between 6700k and 7700k is negligable, the 7700k is nicer to have, the difference between 7700k and Ryzen 1700 is not so much in overclocking potential of 7700k but in number of cores/thread (4/8 vs 8/16) for most current PC games 7700k will probably be better due to higher frequency that is unobtainable for cpu's with more cores, for VR or almost anything else the Ryzen will be better and is more future proof. Ryzen 1700 is at least 20% slower in single core (first core) performance (which is important for current games) but hugely more powerful in multitasking (its a question whether it can be utilized properly in standard home usage). The Ryzen input is that multicore processors will become popular faster and the people creating software will have much more options available. Nevertheless these processors will be utilized properly by masses in years to come and only by few right now - just like Intel extreme cpu's. | ||

You can see this with most games performing almost the same on an ryzen 1600 vs 1700. Going from 6c12t to 8c16t is a +33.3% increase to core count but often only +0-5% in actual performance because of how underutilized they are | ||
