So I've finally narrowed it down to two CPUs...AMD Ryzen 1800x or Intel i7-7800X.

I am going to be using the computer mainly for heavy live streaming and video rendering and playing some of the latest games as well.

Which CPU do you think is better between the two?

Thanks for your help again!

The 1800X is cheaper and will do all those taskes like video rendering and live stream encoding just as well as the 7800X. Because Intel is still king from gaming, you may see a slight increase with the 7800X over AMD 1800X. It will be game dependent and probably not noticeable outside of benchmarks.

For someone on a budget the 1800X wins, However the 2066 has a lot more CPUs that you can upgrade to down the line if that is a thing you want to do. the Ryzen AM4 socket is maxed out with a 1800X. You will need a new MB for AM4+ in the future.

There is no simple answer here. The ryzen 1800x will greatly decrease the amount of time it takes to render your videos but the 8700x will allow you to have a better quality gaming experience which should be noticeable from the viewers. The 8700x also has 6c/12t which will help with the rendering times but the 1800x is unmatched in this area. If you want render quicker then pick ryzen but if you want better stream quality I'd pick the 8700x.
