I'm currently trying to finalize one of my builds for a new rig. I've got one for Intel and one for an AMD Ryzen build so far.

Current rig: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/tTzshq

Intel build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/f8LGzM

AMD Ryzen build: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/MjrZ3F

I'm still in the middle of deciding whether to go for 1080p 144hz, so I can max the majority of my games and still have good performance, or go 1440p and get decent performance while also sacrificing some settings.

Ryzen chips can be a bottleneck at 1080p, even with a 4.0GHz overclock. Therefore, if you're going for a 1080p@144Hz screen, then with for Intel.

Having said that, with that 1080Ti you've listed, you could go with a high refresh 1440p monitor without problems.

Yeah, the thought with Ryzen not being suited for 1080p did cross the mind, for that I'd consider 1440p.

Atm I'm leaning towards Intel and besides, I can always save and modify the Ryzen build for another time as I'm not hurting for funds to build another rig if need be. 

I could, but I don't want to run into that habit of having to turn down settings (not talking AA or GTA V grass type settings). I'm already turning down settings with my 980 and my current CPU can't cut it well with Planet Coaster (their game is more CPU intensive than GPU, despite them asking for a 980 on their reco spec list).
