UE4 - intel 7700K or AMD 1800X?

Actually you’re partially wrong there.
Your basis on the 1800X not being a good gaming PC is due to the rumours of it having lower framerate yes.
Although what you did not consider was the framerate drops. The 1800X has much less/lower framerate drops than the competitor Intel’s CPUs. Which means, it may just as well be much better at gaming.

To TS. In my opinion, go for Ryzen ;D

Regardless of what the benchmark figures say, Ryzen is a really good processor for gaming. It’s only when you intentionally create a CPU bottleneck by running at lower resolutions with a high-end graphics card that you can measure any significant difference in max framerate between a 7700K and an 1800X anyway. But even then that’s a pretty moot point. Taken by themselves, the Ryzen 7 processors make for excellent gaming CPU’s. A huge step up from AMD’s previous line of processors.
