what is better a Intel Core I7 8700 or the one in here null

It depends on what you are using it for. Streaming or running several programs at once makes the hyperthreading of the I7 a good choice. However, gaming does not really utilize hyperthreading and having more cores is better. Either way, I really like what AMD has done with this processor, it would be a good choice no matter what you are using it for. I am pretty happy with mine. I was hoping for the MSI motherboard but got a gigabyte that is fine (wish it had more than 2 fan headers). I will add anther 8 or 16 Gigs of memory later and I am sure this thing will be a rocket, it is already plenty fast. The MSI Aero graphics card is fine but would have liked a dual fan GPU. For the money this is a great system. But if you do not need the financing, I would recommend going to Cyberpower's site and building one. For not much more money you can get some upgrades and pick which components you want. But I would still go with the 2700x build. It is a great processor for the money.

In my personal experience for day to day stuff Intel is a smidge better. When you push them to their limits, like with heavy gaming, the Ryzen 7 comes out on top though.
