im wanting to build a gaming PC and decided to go with AMD, but don't know which ryzen 7 series CPU to go for, the PC will be used mainly for a little content creation,gaming,streaming etc, been looking at the 2700x but wondering if that will be overkill, plus if I can save a little money can put it into something else so comment with your advice, which ryzen 7 series CPU I should go for or which would be best suited :)
 
Well I've chosen the taichi ultimate x470 motherboard as it has the wireless wifi,and I'm deciding on parts panos but for RAM inside the build I've chosen corsair 2x8 16gb RGB 3000mhz as I'm going for a close to all white build but the board will downclock the memory to 2933mhz, and I'll be streaming fortnite etc phixsator and other PC games
 
Depends on your budget. Ive owned both a 1700x and currently using a 2700x. Both are impressive CPUs for the money.
If you go for the 2700x get a decent cooler on it, enable Precision Boost Overdrive in the BIOS and never have to worry about overclocking again. Mine peaks at 4.35ghz, more than happy with it. Performs really well in games and with heavy video editing.
I was struggling with a graphics card to pick, wanted to wait for the new 20 series to be released so I could see benchmark results, but think the 1080ti SC black like you said seems to have good benchmark results and decent overclocking, the CPU is chosen now, but it's finding the Graphics card at a decent price,cheapest 1 I found was £669 and that's off ******, but I'll keep looking out for the price, the case I've already picked I'm going for the Evolv X gives me a good amount of storage

Case-Phanteks Evolv X
Motherboard-taichi ultimate AM4
CPU-ryzen 7 2700x
GPU-1080ti SC Black Edition/to be decided
PSU-Corsair RM1000i
RAM-Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 2x8gb 3000mhz DDR4
SSD-Samsung 860 EVO 1tb
HDD-2x2tb seagate 7200rpm
COOLER-to be decided
That's the system that I've gone for, minus the gpu and cooler as I'm yet to decide, give me some advice of what you think
 
you need better ram as the Ryzen benefits a lot from faster and low latency ram. On my 1800X had some gskil ripjaws 3600C16 and worked out of the box last year without issue. And bought this ram early 2016 for dofferent system
My board says max (3466)+(OC) don't know if that means that the board supports 3466 + it can be overclocked
