Asus Prime X370-Pro AM4 Ryzen
AMD Ryzen 7 1700X AM4
16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200Mhz G-Skill Trident Z RGB
1TB Samsung 960 Evo NVMe M.2 SSD
I will carry over my nvidia gpu for now and I already have a decent psu. I am just holding off until kernel 4.11 is released and maybe for Gentoo to arch-set gcc-6.x

Also, while gedit is a nice, easy to use text editor, I really feel like I should learn my way around Vim, or perhaps Atom? Help?!
jk -- I wanted April Fool's Day to go out with one last comment.

Phoronix i7 7700k vs Ryzen 1800x
^^
with price drops for Intel it seems if all you do is game then Intel is still a clear winner. Then again if you watch videos or stream whilst you game or compile etc.. then a 8 core Ryzen seems like a good idea.
Linux titles tend to be more CPU centric so favour intel but with Vulkan & Ryzen optimisations the difference might not be so much in the long run. Then again, Ryzen 2.0 ( or Ryzen+) shouldn't be too long away and that in theory should be giving another 15% per core IPC.
As for AMD GPU it seems that MESA/RadeonSi is beating out AMDGPU-Pro in almost every test now and by a clear margin. Id imagine it is not far behind Nvidia but the desktop experience should be better with AMD being opensource and you get a $200 cheaper monitor option with Freesync over the more expensive G-sync.
Id say Intel CPU + AMD GPU right now is probably still the best bet. Also soon Intel will also be releasing a much more multicore gaming CPU with the next generation and the prices will have to compete with Ryzen.

yea, sometimes I get puzzled by Phoronix benchmarks as they don't tally up with the Windows benchmarks for Ryzen ( even taking into consideration the loss in FPS due to the port ). seems to be so much conflicting information online for the new AMD CPU's.
Would go for at least around 3000...
That's a great gain :D
I'm starting to think of getting a new ryg, for both performance and ditch Intel/Nvidia but with my decision skills that could happen somewhere next year lol. Happy to see content people with Ryzen and AMD GPUs.
