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?

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.

Here is another one in english
