Redkilla how do you like the Alienware? I remember when that is all people talked about but now it seems hard to find someone saying something good. I was looking at some this past weekend and they are proud of their stuff. Damn!!!

I haven't had much experience with them but from what my friends have been telling me Alienware rigs are prone to overheating

How do you like the Ryzen? I want to get one but I play OpenGL games that don't use multiple cores and I am reading that multi core is their specialty.

Ryzen is really good if you multi-task. Like streaming from the same machine. x264 will utilize all the available cores. Single-Core performance isn't great, and not a whole lot of applications know how to use more than like... 4 cores. I used to have a i5-4460 which just chugged if I tried to do more than one thing at a time. However the 7700k handles things like that fairly well from what I've heard, and seen. That being said, the AM4 platform is going to be supported for many years, so who knows how the second-generation Ryzen will perform.

So in summary, if you stream, get a Ryzen. If you do productivity things, like CAD, get a Ryzen. If you only game, you're probably better off with the i7-7700k since it has wider support in older applications.
