I've just finished getting my build together.  Now, I'm going to download windows 10.  I still have my i7 4790k build.  I have plans to sell it,  but I'm not 100% certain yet.  Next week, I'm getting a GTX 1080TI, so, sadly, there wont be any Switch for me for a while.

However, I went ahead and got the Ryzen 7 1800X.  I know the deal was the weaker CPUs, but I wanted the best.  I want this PC to last me at least 3 years.  My 4790k didn't even make it two.  Four cores weren't enough, and I wasn't sppending over $1000 to get thhe cpu I really needed.  Glad I didn't do that.

I just can't wait to see how much more fantastic this new CPU is.  What about everyone else?

I got a switch instead as im going to wait for the Vega to release. Curious to see how well the Ti works with a Ryzen.

I don't know, the first benchmarks were somewhat disappointing, especially when it comes to games. AMD says thats because it isn't optimized yet. I'm willing to believe that. So I'm just gonna wait until the CPUs are better optimized and stay with my Intel rig until then. I'll give it a year or two, by then Ryzen should also be cheaper and stuff. So yeah, no need to hurry.

I'm good with i5-4570 and 960, there aren't any games that they can't handle at 1080p on High+, but all I play is Rocket League and older games anyway.

If your main focus is playing games, then keep away from Ryzen. It's bad according to these benchmarks here :

It's in german, but the AMD Ryzen R7 1800x is just 4% better than my current I7 3770K which I have for 3 years now.

edit:

Here is another one in english

Same here. R7 Games performance is a bit underwhelming, though it shows stout minimums in many cases.

They are not bad, but clearly there is no need for anything above the R7 1700 as its wasted money.

Proof, clock for clock at 3.9Ghz (1800x vs 1700) nearly identical : https://youtu.be/V5RP1CPpFVE?t=80

That's a HUGE Price difference. Save the $170.

I have a feeling the real value will be in the R5 6 cores, which with better overclocking headroom over the R7 could prove a real stalemate or win over the i5 in games.

A 6700K  or 7700K is a better choice for purely gaming framerates perspective. Both which are $259 and $299 at Microcenter BTW.  

So from a gamer's perspective, the value proposition is not the same vs the productivity side of the argument. Tech City's review shows the 7700K with a sizeable lead streaming Dota 2 as well, which i found interesting.

I have a 3770K at 4.5Ghz w/ 16Gb of 2400Mhz....which probably compares to a stock 4790K or 6700K in many of those gaming tests. I paid $249 at Microcenter for that i7  3.5 years ago. Not bad.

So this launch has me more interested in the next consumer Intel revision than any of these Ryzen chips since the IPC delta will continue to grow. For now any money itching to rebuild is better served at throwing it at GPU power, specially playing at 1440p-4K.

From the gaming benches that I saw, I could see that something is limiting RyZen in lower resolutions, but it's not the graphics card which is limiting there. At higher resolutions, the advantage of Intel CPUs is melting quickly, especially in 1440p where Ryzen is much closer to the 6900K than in full HD or even 720p.

So yeah, it looks like games are still not optimized for Ryzen. Also I'm pretty sure new drivers might give it some pretty good performance increases

I have R7-1700X, I did try with encode, winrar, zip, render and transfers with overclocked and 3200Mhz RAM, it's fast, however i have never tried games yet. I was utterly busy with those workstation dudes.

Oh yeah, for gaming, i don't think they should go for R7 since this CPU have a lot of cores/threads, R5 1600X might be better for gaming, perhaps we'll see R5 1600X benches sometime later.

Not sure how anyone can go away from Intel at this point, but thats just me.

Just got confirmed by AMD: http://www.pcgameshardware.de/AMD-Zen-Codename-261795/News/Ryzen-Performance-steigern-1222293/
