I am planning on building a PC within the next several months, probably around fall. I plan on pairing one of these CPUs with an RX 570 or 580, or wait and see what Vega has to offer. I'm looking at the possibility of starting a YouTube channel and also stream some of the games that I play. I play DayZ, Blackwake, Dark Souls 3, etc... As of right now, an R5 1600 is kind of stretching it. I'm trying to achieve the lowest cost possible, and some good frame rates. I'm not completely sure about my budget, but it will most likely be around $700 U.S.

Either option is fine. I personally would choose the 1500X just for overclocking and multithreading, but in raw single core performance, the 7500 is better, but not by much.
