i am planning to upgrade my current system (i5-2500k, 8 Gb 1600Ghz, GTX 650Ti OC)
I have already ordered the Sapphire Radeon RX 580 4GB Nitro+ model and I am thinking the rest.
Right now an Intel system, (i5-7600k+MSI Z270 SLI Plus) at least here, will cost me 395 euros and a
Ryzen one ( R5 1600+MSI B350 Tomahawk) will cost 367 euros

Yes, I am planning to Overclock both systems

I think the Z270 board is better than the B350 but anyway, I wanna know which one of these processors better paired with the RX 580,or should I chose the more cheap 1500x+MSI B350 Tomahawk(335 euros) since the card isn't so powerful.

I play mostly games,

Thanks a lot!

That's the way I look at it too.

For strictly gaming, the OC'ed Intel processor is still a bit faster than the OC'ed Ryzen. Even not OC'ed. At least in most games. But the 8 threads will make a difference in well threaded apps. Unless you were to go for maybe the 6C/12T 1600X, I would stay with the Intel 7600K.

Your results from the Time Spy are almost the same, if you consider the slightly higher clocked 1600X.
Both systems are powerful but which one will prove better deal in the future? (more cores more threads)
