If you live near one. Might pick one up and sell my 1700. See if I can get 4-4.1 out of it.

It is world wide price drop. Not only Microcenter. 1700 sells between €250 and €300 in Italy: cross the ADriatic in a ferry and come for shopping in Rimini!
Joke apart, prices in Croatia should be more or less aligned on western European standards.

1600x is under $200 here https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113434 but the 1700x is still up there near $300. How about an 1800x for $320? https://www.amazon.com/AMD-Ryzen-18...&qid=1511215525&sr=1-3&keywords=Ryzen+7+1700x

I have already excused myself for that...
More and more games are taking advantage of core count. War Thunder uses all 8 threads on my Skylake, from 93% to 100% across the board.

1600x is 270$, while 1600 is 250$ just by that you can see every chip is 30-70$ more then in US...
I think max with cores and threads I would go 6/12 with 1600 although even those wont utilize with all games even said 1400 will probably be option or even 1500x.
i3 coffee costs same as cheapest board lol

Again, for GAMING and gaming alone; I think the new i3 setup is really where you want to be to be blunt. Thats ONLY reason I suggest the i3 is because you say you dont want to overclock. The ryzen 1400 needs to be overclocked to get to i3 performance levels. I understand they only have z370 boards out; but maybe theres some deals you can find...

You're good with 400W. It is a decent unit, according to Johnnyguru ( http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=341 ).
It will work with either platforms.

^Was thinking exactly the same. And for the price, can always get a used 8700k for a couple of hundred in 2 years and get the platform going for a couple of years extra at least!

Keep in mind it is a 4/5 years investment: a hundred bucks over 4/5 years is what, €1.7/€1.9 per month?

This thread has me looking at a 1600x now. This really is a disease, and the treatments are getting expensive.....RAM will be the killer, though, along with the OS.

With a better multi-threading 6c/12t chip less than $200? And a pile of good, sub $120 motherboards for it? Nah, I don't think so. I won't necessarily get rid of the Skylake rig (right away) but I don't see Intel's "all over the map" strategy being anything I want to encourage with my money. LOL

I wait and see what RYzen 1.2 will be.
If AMD can increase frequency, maybe not to Intel levels, but let's say to 4.5/4.6GHz, I will go with one next year.
If not, well, z390, or maybe just wait for Icelake or Ryzen 2, as the rig in sig is still doing a more than decent job.
