I am planning on building a gaming PC very soon and I have to choose between getting the core i5 7600k and getting the ryzen 5 1600. The PC is going to primarily be for 1080p gaming, which makes me initially think I should get the core i5 7600k, but there are a couple of reasons that I would want to get the ryzen 5 1600. First of all, it is cheaper and I could save even more money from not getting a cooler because the wraith spyre cooler is functional for the amount of overclocking I plan on doing. If the core i5 is significantly better than the ryzen, then I don't really mind spending the extra money, but I'm going to be getting the PC right before the Steam summer sale, so I'd like to have a little extra money if the CPU won't really make a difference. Also, even though I plan on using the PC for mostly gaming, I plan on using it without upgrading for a couple of years, and I may end up doing activities that take advantage of ryzen's more cores.
I should also mention that I plan on gaming with some form of voice chat program and possible a couple of other tabs running in the background.
Also, if you do recommend ryzen, could you recommend a good 2x4gb ram sets to go with the ryzen 5 1600? (I'll be getting the MSI B350 Tomahawk for my motherboard if that makes a difference)
