Looking for a build to stream/game on the same machine. I have been told that Ryzen would do they job as good if not better than an i7 7700k which I was opting for.

This is a build I am thinking of, looking for a build around the $1300 mark. If anyone else can put their input in for a build that would be really appreciated

The 7700K is faster in pure gaming (on average), but with CPU-based streaming the R7 1700/1700X should catch up (or even pull ahead in some instances). You can probably step down to the cheaper 1700 and just make up the difference with overclocking.

The rest of the system is decent, but you can get a decent ~500GB for not much more than that 250GB 850 Evo, and I'd get a different power supply. The Seasonic G 550W for example. Final build could look like this:

You can leave out the CPU Cooler as the one included with the 1700X is nearly as good and look really good aswell.

Power supply is okay, but definitely not the best for your money.

You might know the answer to this if you have ever bought parts listed in PCpartpicker, How long on average does it take for all parts to arrive

That is a very nice case, I just want to run it by someone again, would the 1700 be enough to stream and game of the same rig, or should I just run it safe and get the 1700x?

Also you may know this, How long does it roughly take to get all parts to arrive, As I do not live in the US but want to build this computer for someone here while I am in the US
