Can Ryzen 1700 play everything without a problem and not bottlenecking my gpu gtx 1070?If it does im gonna buy it since it has x2 cores from i7700k and similar gaming performance which might win on future if games uses more cores.Thanks for your help

While the i7 7700k has better IPC, yes the 1700 has more cores and threads. If it were me I would go with more cores/threads at this point since games are finally starting to use a lot of threads. Until recently 4-8 threads was about all you needed for gaming but with the launch of some of the newer titles like Ghost Recon Wildlands, Watch Dogs 2, and BF1...these games can take every thread you throw at them and my guess is in the future this will become common place. Point being while Kaby lake does have a FPS lead, AMDs 8C/16T chips will have be better down the line. Not to mention the fact AMD is closing the gap in gaming at a fairly break neck pace. My guess is by summer clock for clock AMD and Intel will be tied or very close in...

Well for strictly gaming I would say the 7700k is the better buy. That said if you are only playing at 1080p 60hz you aren't going to be bottlenecked by either cpu, in fact something like an i5 or ryzen 5 when they release would be more than enough in the vast majority of tiles for max settings 1080p 60fps with a 1070. You will only start to see cpu bottlenecking if you have a high refresh rate monitor and are looking to achieve high peak and average fps.

My guess is by summer clock for clock AMD and Intel will be tied or very close in gaming. Even now the gap isn't huge. It only shows up at high frame rates or super CPU intensive titles @1080P. Intel has a small lead in gaming for now but it also costs more then an AMD platform. In the end it is up to you.
