So as of now I have a i7-3770k paired with 16gb ddr3 at 1333 mhz with a gtx 1060. I plan on playing 1080p at 144hz or 120hz on games such as WoW, Overwatch, csgo. I'm trying to debate between getting an i7-7700k, or the ryzen 1700. Everywhere I look I get mixed results. Thanks for your help.

O then get Ryzen just be sure to get fast ram as ryzen performes better (sweetspot is between 2666-3000 after 3000mhz there is barely any difference.)
Ryzen is going to be cheaper, and apparently new chips are also going to come out on AM4, where Intel might move to a different socket making your upgrade patch need to include a new mobo

Intel is going to have better overall performance in general, probably better speeds too. typically more expensive to go with that.

Personally, I like Ryzen, good luck though!
 


Your current rig is capable of that already why need an upgrade?
