which is best for me ryzen 1950x vs i7 8700k

[WhereHere1]

ok so on my computer i normally run

game
music (itunes)
DVD or youtube
will normally have steam, origin and oculus all open at the same time

sometimes may run scans in the background.

or

now and again i use photo shop with similar programs running in the background

so would the 16core be more useful or would the i7 run all those things at once easily?

oh wow i will check out the ryzen 2 i didnt know they was releasing a new cpu.

does anyone know when new motherboards are coming out for 8700k? i do not want the z series motherboards.

So if I purchased an i7 or 1950x, say in another 5 years, would the threadripper be better at games?because it can use more cores on the game? Or does it not work like that?
