The Ryzen 6-core 1600 at $249 is very impressive and beats Intel in most applications. However, it still isn't as good as Intel at 1080 gaming. When you go to 2K and 4K the processors run closer together.
I would still wait until the motherboard manufacturers get their bios sorted out. They are still making optimizations. AMD should've released this processor first rather than their 1700 and 1800 lines. At $249, this hexacore is on my shortlist for a new build.
