Hi, I am planning on building a PC but I am very confused about the state of CPUs right now. I want to be able to game on the PC but at the same time, I need to run design programs such as solid works, which uses multithreaded processes. After doing some research I found that while the new Ryzen launch is performing very well and has a high core & thread count, the 7700k performs much better on games (I play a lot of openworld action/adventure games such as Fallout & Assasins Creed). I know the 7700k is better with single thread programs, but will the chipset get outdated? I need some guidance in terms of what I should be looking for in a CPU and what CPUs currently satisfies those needs. Thank you.
P.S. I plan on getting a 1440p monitor @ 144Hz w/ G-sync, would that make a difference and how?
