CPU Help! Intel Core I5 7500 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600

Yeah totally! And the 1600 comes with the cooler so in the long run your saving money. The difference between the 1600x and the 1600 is that the 1600x overclocks itself for you. But if your fine with the stock speeds on there go with the 1600 and save $50 for not having to get a cooler and it being cheaper.
Hey also I thought you said the ryzen 5 1500 at the beginning and I stated it was a 4 core 8 thread.. I lied. the Ryzen 1600 is a 6 core 12 thread cpu which is even better

if you don't want to overclock, from those two the ryzen probably is the best option, more cores and threads do help on most cases
i5 could be a bit better on some games but not by much and the ryzen can overclock itself abit so you don't have to do it, the i5 will not be oveclokcable
on both platforms you will be able to replace the cpu with newer and faster cpus, on amd side you will have more years of new cpus than on intel, new cpus for this socket lga 1151 could very well end this year or the next, amd am4 socket will live until year 2021 or 2022

Well you actually have an interesting match-up here. It's slightly a toss up. But personally I would go with the Ryzen chip. The reason I would is because the Ryzen chip is going to out perform the intel chip in roughly 85% of all games and about 95% in all workloads. Here is the reason behind this; the ryzen chip is a 4 core 8 thread processor; which means games and tasks that use more cores are going to perform better on it verses the intel chip that is just a 4 core 4 thread chip. Here is where intel slightly shines; the intel chip has higher performance on their individual cores; which means if your doing some thing that only runs on 2-4 cores the intel chip will have slightly better performance but not by a lot. With the current gaming engine market; more and more tasks and games are starting to take advantage of those more core counts. The whole point of Directx12 was to help spread the load better between cores. So here is the simple version of this all; the Ryzen chip will be faster then the i5 7500 80% of the time in games.

Remember with the Ryzen 1600 its not the "X" version so it doesn't have the extended frequency range. Meaning it won't really turbo boost itself that much, if at all.

if you can, make that 2x4 gbs ram into a 2x8 gbs ram so you get 16 gbs, abit more futureproof
the 950, yes, there are better gpus at better prices, a 1050ti would be better
looks good to me, the 950 should work for a bit more and later you can go for a bigger gpu
