I am going to be using this PC for only gaming at 1080P resolution. I was leaning towards the Ryzen because it has more threads and cores which may make it future proof but the i7 is showing higher frames at this resolution. Is there a significant difference? I am pairing the CPU with either a 1080ti or a top end Vega.

PS- I got burnt with Piledriver and my FX 8350 is even bottlenecking my 970 in many games like BF 1 so I really don't want a headache of lower frames down the line as games become more CPU dependant
 
Is the Asrock Taichi X370 a good mobo for Ryzen? Also will choosing 2400mhz RAM over 3000mhz have an effect on gaming?I dont want to get into overclocking the RAM as there are several issues with Ryzen on that front. I want to allocate as much as possible to the GPU
 
Some of the videos I am seeing show the 1080ti dropping below 60 on Ryzen at 1080P compared to the 7700k which is almost 20 fps ahead. Can the difference be made up by ocing?

the problem is if you check the dates like the above video they are all a month or more ago. id be interested to see where ryzen stands now with its updated memory bios tweaks.

Just read HardOCP's most recent analysis.

Seems its only behind by 9-10 fps or so at 1080P but above 60. I think considering the upgrade path I will most likely go for Ryzen and a 1080Ti/ Vega. Crossing my fingers it works out.
