Depends on what you exactly want. If you're looking for multi-tasking I'd recommend AMD. If you have the budget, and want to game a lot on it I'd recommend going for an Intel CPU.
Are those prices you listed correct? Since 58$ for a I7 7700K is dirt cheap, if that's the case I'd love to know where you got the prices from.
CPU doesn't matter much in case of mining, but if you have the money I'd just take the best you can get.

i prefer i7-7700k+Asus ROG

Yeah mate, like what @Bish0pQ is saying, where are you buying this from. If those are the right prices, then please tell me where I can buy a $40 Ryzen CPU.
For the case of gaming, I would recommend either an i7-7700K(really any i7) or a Ryzen CPU, plus the EVGA card. I've known EVGA products to last longer than some of the others, and they have hella overclocking ability. The main reason I'm recommending top-line stuff, is if you can get them that cheap, go big or go home.
For Monero mining, graphics card is going to be more necessary I think (not quite sure, if Monero mines the same as Bitcoin, then yeah) but a powerful CPU will still help.
Pay attention to your RAM and everything too buddy, pretty necessary.

I get them from a wholesale supplier.
RE: What to buy? - Bish0pQ - 06-11-2017
Do you care to share which one or is it just available for you? You could make insane profit with these prices. I'd even pay you 150$ for an I7-7700k...
Please share your knowledge with us.

If you're building a gaming rig with a high-end CPU and VC, ram Is of equal Importance.

I know i could, but my parents would be suspicious on where i got the money for all the parts. If i buy one or 2 they wouldn't mind. I wouldn't even know how to sell them anyway.
