That's particularly true in the OBS/Dota 2 benchmark, where the game was software-encoded at 3500Kbps and streamed to Twitch. AMD made a big fuss about streamers in its pre-launch bluster, where a secondary PC is often used exclusively for video encoding and decoding to increase stream quality and prevent a drop in FPS in the game instead. It's certainly possible to stream and play a game like Dota 2 on a high-end system with a 7700K, but there is a performance penalty for doing so.

While I wasn't able to capture the number of dropped frames from the stream, I was able to capture the FPS numbers from Dota 2. All the eight-core CPUs did well, but the 7700K took a significant hit to performance by as much as 18FPS with OBS active. Ryzen...

The ryzen r7 isn't comparable against the 6600k. However the Ryzen R5's are and will launch later this year in Q2. Though the Ryzen R7 chips will make for a great gaming experience, they still can't compare against the 7700k's single core performance. If you'll be primarily gaming, go for the 7700k. However if you will be doing heavy workloads and extensive multitasking, go with the Ryzen R7 as it will have better multicore performance.
If you'll be streaming/capturing video WHILE gaming for youtube, the Ryzen's multicore performance would be the best choice, as you won't experience FPS dips in game, while multitasking.

1&3 are the ryzen 2 is the i5

All I all unless you're planning to try and run 250 fps at 1080 or something silly then the ryzen CPU will perform better while streaming at the same time. If you're just going to record your gameplay and edit it later it's kinda a wash. Whichever way you go two separate drives are a good idea (one to game from one to save to)

I need to see where your getting your information on Zen if you cant link some real world benchmarks then your just saying without anything to back it up.
Show me the gaming benchmarks and the streaming while gaming benchmarks.
As for the R5 all speculation the chip is not even out.

You can research for yourself and find your own benchmarks. Youtube videos are out there.
You can also google "Ryzen R5" and "Ryzen R3", as I stated before they will launch Q2 2017.

The Ryzen reviews are out. Ryzen can compete with X99 chips in heavily threaded situations. Recording/Streaming gameplay often requires a cpu better suited to multithreading. Ryzen would excel in such a scenario. Pure gaming, Intel still wins, with the 7600k/7700k. Recording/streaming, Ryzen is the better choice, as the X99 cpu's are simply too expensive, for the performance they dish out. I have a friend interested in Ryzen, for this reason, as his 1231v3 just runs out of steam, trying to record and stream his PC gameplay, with his Elgato HD60.

Ryzen did well, only dropping 3FPS while streaming, but was ultimately slower overall than the Intel systems.

And that's in a non intensive game like dota....

Havnt seen enough benchmarks while streaming to close the book. But I know games like bf1 completely choke even an over 7600k, and bring a 7700k to a big sweat. There won't be any computing power left to basically real time vidoe edit while streaming. If he's wanting to stream something like Lol then you're right. If it's something that fully loads a 7700k it'll make a massive difference
