Do you plan to have a plex server and use transcoding? If so, the i3 is probably the best call. If not, I'd go with the ryzen. And in fairness I've heard people saying that and transcodes fine on plex despite not being supported.

The Ryzen CPU is the best in terms of raw performance. Not by a ton, but it does perform better. I also don't think those Intel CPUs support quick sync so no reason to even consider them really.
The Ryzen also boosts, while the Intel ones don't.
