I agree with Snipergod87. You can't possibly suggest either cpu without knowing how you intend to use the computer.
If you are single tasking a game and you won't use the cpu for media creation where the use of many cores wouild be beneficial, go with the 4790's better single core performance (especially if overclocked).
If you multitask and use media creation software, ryzen's multicore performance would be my choice as you'll get better price to performance.
You'll have to decide what will suite you better, single core or multicore performance.
