3770K to Ryzen 7 1700x right choice?

Fairly self explanatory from the title I guess.

Currently on a 3770K at 4.2 but getting weird power offs which I don't know what to blame, mobo, PSU, case.

Thinking I can solve the problems by going for new mobo and case as part of the new build.

I game but would like to stream as I play which I can do currently but can't help the upgrade itch and feeling my system could be better. I'm also starting to record tutorial videos for something work based and am using video editor so I guess the extra cores would help with rendering?

Very stuck as what to do, please help.

Grab your self one of these. Cheaper than buying the parts individually and a great motherboard and fast RAM.

I put one together on Friday and it was mostly a pain free experience bar a few bugs and RAM clearance issues.

I would but I absolutely despise AIO coolers (add to that I already have a Noctua DH15 waiting for the new build as well.

Wait for 8700K, otherwise it's a good choice except the decreased IPC.

Are you comparing the 1700x o the 8700K or the 3770K in it's current guise with that comment? If a 1700 is an improvement on IPC than what I have now then it's still an upgrade regardless.
