Forgot to wrote - i got it. Totally worth it and match my expectations.

Still an 2014 4th Generation i7 4790 that is released in 2014 beats an 1700x in gaming , for pure gaming I will stick with intel and upgrade to Canon Lake (10nm)

Ryzen 5 are around the corner, 170$ for 4c/8t that is overclock-able on its stock cooler with 80$ motherboard, I'll take that over the cheapest i5 7400 any day in the week.

As for top performer, yes Ryzen7 even Ryzen5 1600x will not match the i7 7700k performance, but for what it offers for its cost, and the fact it doesnt bottleneck any gpu in normal cases (which is not playing at 720p using low preset), also add the fact that a simple game update will drastically change the performance like in Ashes Of Singularity also BIOS updates improved FPS on Hitman/Tomb Raider.

AMD are back to their playground with a good CPU that will force Intel to reduce the prices of normal CPUs and the stupid prices of workstation CPUs.

I am interested to see if AMD with Ryzen 5 fixed some serious issues with Ryzen 7 that affected the raw performance of the CPUs:

AM4 Mothboards Bios Frimware
Memory Compatiblity Issues
Windows 10 Scheduling Issues

But in general AMD used a very bullish marketing stategy in the pre-Ryzen release period , and stated very big promises, especially beating Intel , it nailed the over all performance increaae compared to old gen AMD CPUS and closed the gap with Intel to a large extent but not matching their "exaggerated" promises.
It is not "exaggerated" promises, they are very real, as i use 1800X and i am more than satisfied with performance and stability.
They did beat Intel in Cinebench if you compare the 1800x with 6900k, yes they exaggerated but a 500$ workstation CPU that is few percentage slower than a 1050$ CPU, also it has much less power consumption 95w vs 140w, You cant say NO for that! can you!

As a Gamer Enthusiast I will always go with an Intel + Nvidia Combination less compatibility issues and more performance. Competition is healthy for the end customers and Intel is "obligied" now to cut their CPU prices & if that happened it will be very problematic for AMD.

Compatibility issues with Ryzen is something to expect for a new Architecture, as for AMD Video cards they are more stable than Nvidia counter part (low freq bug with driver update, also 378.49 breaking steam hardware encoding, etc) and AMD drivers gets better with time unlike Nvidia where the benefit with time is minimal.

As a gamer Enthusiast as yourself that like to plays at 1440p 144hz you will find out that there is no difference between Intel and Ryzen for your use case :)

Edit: I was wrong, there is a difference, the GTX1080 Ti can bottleneck the 7700k so you never know, you might change your mind soon

"Edit: I was wrong, there is a difference, the GTX1080 Ti can bottleneck the 7700k so you never know, you might change your mind soon" Give me the source mate , actually Nvidia with latest drivers boosted Direct 12 performance with a more efficient Asyn Compute. I am runnig the 1080ti now on an i7 4790 with no bottle necks witnessed using MSI after burner to monitor CPU/GPU usage , very stable experience on native 2160p with no stutter. Ryzen gaming performance still lags behind Intel and every additional fps matters on 1440p 144hz. My next major upgrade is Canon Lake (more likely to suppor DDR 5 Rams - JEDEC are currently developing the DDR5 Stamdards- comlined with Volta and HBM 2.0 as a GPU.
you are not playing at 720p low settings to simulate the bottleneck :)

I checked the prices , they seem overpriced here and I7 7700K is more affordable.
