I use Win 10 on home and work pcs and don't have too much issue with it but it is a pretty dick move by MS. Security support for Win 7 runs to Jan 2020 and I find it hard to believe there's a major technical reason why the new chips can't be supported.
Unless you need Ryzen then I'd say just try to get a Skylake chip, for most consumer chips I don't think you'll miss much over Kaby Lake.
I do still run my HTPC on Win 7 but that has a Haswell chip, the only reason is there still isn't anything that does live tv better than WMC.
