@Quake: I don't recall hearing about IPS monitors capable of reaching 240Hz (I've only seen some up to 100Hz) and VA panels tend to stop at 144Hz, so it was a given that your new monitor would be TN.
In any case, I'm glad you like your new toy.
And now, some Ryzen 5 info!
TechSpot has made an article simulating what kind of gaming performance could the 1600X & 1500X offer. They've done it dissabling parts of an R7 1800X and then compared them to three Intel processors (7700K, 7600K and 7350K) using several games and 3 Nvidia cards (1080Ti, 1070 and 1060). All Ryzen chips were overclocked to 4.0GHz and all Intel parts were also oveclocked to 4.8GHz.
Here are the results: http://www.techspot.com/review/1360-amd-ryzen-5-1600x-1500x-gaming/
Obviously, that doesn't tells us their real gaming performances... but we may know that a lot sooner than the official April 11th launch date because:
AMD Ryzen 5 1600 already selling

It seems that some consumers already have been able to order Ryzen 5 processors, interesting as these should not be available for another three weeks.
Of course, to skip the embargo date by this amount, well that's just steep alright. The photos have been posted on Reddit, the end-user who has his hands on that platform bought a Ryzen 5 1600 (six-cores enabled processor) and a MSI B350 Tomahawk motherboard.
