Hello everyone,
I am planning to build new pc which will be mainly used for gaming and editing.

This is the part list:

GPU:MSI GTX 1080 GAMING X 8G GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5X PCIE

Either will work well for gaming and editing, the Ryzen 7 1700 will work better for editing and streaming while gaming, and the 7700K will work better for just gaming. I'd say go for the Ryzen 7 because the next batch of mainstream Intel CPUs will be 6-core Core i5 and i7 later this year (unofficial) because quad-cores are falling behind to 6 and 8 core Ryzen in editing and streaming while gaming.

What exactly are you editing and what software are you editing with? If you're using Adobe Premiere or Photoshop then you'll benefit more from a CPU with multiple cores and a fast clock speed. A lesser CPU will still do the job, it'll just do it slower.

The Ryzen 5 1600 is arguably the best price-to-performance CPU for gaming right now.
