Just reading about Threadripper's advantages on Intel's CPUs (the i9s, specifically). Call me a nasty hater, but I need to see it in motion to believe it!

Threadripper is a beast. It's not without it's shortcomings though.
But Price/Performance wise it is superior to Intel without question.

AMD is selling a 16 core processor for the same price as Intels 10-core here. (About $1,500 AUD)

That kind of value is just simply nuts.

But that kind of chip isn't meant for mere mortals/gamers. Haha.

The Ryzen 1600/1600X seems to be the sweet gaming spot right now in my opinion. Not expensive (Almost 1/3rd the price of the 1800X here), 6 cores, extremely capable for the price.

You can get CPUs delivered to your door via Amazon for less than it costs here.
The R5 1600 would cost $279 AUD, including shipping to my door via Amazon (Victoria).
Where as Centre Com charges $299 AUD + shipping, and the pricing is not much better elsewhere.

Amazon does of course take a while to ship here, and the shipping price can get pretty high, but if you are getting small-ish things like GPUs and CPUs it is a way to save some extra cash.
Threadripper seems to be troublesome to get shipped here though, dam AMD and their large box.
