I'm looking for the best Productivity Build (video editing etc) and am debating between Ryzen 7 1700X vs Core i7 8700k. I'm not really into any serious gaming yet but would like something that allows me to get into at a later stage as I won't be building anything again for some time. I have a 4K 27" monitor.
It seems like the 1700X is great value but its bothersome that I I will need to add a graphic card separately which brings it to the same price range as the 8700K. I like that intel supports the 4K display out of the gate. What is a budget graphic card which can get the Ryzen to display 4K? I also would rather not deal with an additional cooling unit so also contemplating the R7 1700 vs the i7 8700 which are also available at $20-30 cheaper than the OC versions. Would love thoughts
