At least wait untill official review of Ryzen 7 then decide.
If purely for gaming maybe then kaby lake is enough for you. But it seems that upcoming games might utilise more cores.

Ya I know. Me too . But at least from Ryzen 7 official benchmark, we can see how it perform in games compared to skylake. If the R7 performance difference compared to skylake, then you can decide since R5 is just the lower part of the SKUs.

If your machine is for both work and play, Ryzen helps heaps.

For gaming - both will run quite similarly.

unfortunately, no more r5 1400x, but r5 1600x and r5 1500x XD with higher clock.

R5 1600x (6C/12T) BC 3.6/TC 4.0
R5 1600x (6C/12T) BC 3.5/TC 3.7

amd believe will outperform i5 7600k by 64%
Good brief about Ryzen:

Ryzen R5 1500x around rm 900. 7700k around rm 1.6k.
Roughly 30-40% of the price..

You tried before with stock cooler? I wonder if it can withstand 1.45vcore? Plus what air cooler now available with am4 socket? I'm interested with noctua NH-D15 but most of it don't have am4 bracket..

U might have compatibility issue as usually manufacturer will test the ram in pair (for dual channel) & 4pcs kit (for quad channel) ensure it can run in XMP setting.

Should be 99% no issue as long same spec 

can't wait for threadripper! It's gonna be a beast!!!!

I noticed earlier that if just loading XMP profile, the DRAM setting picked to use by my mobo is for CL15 and not the JEDEC programmed 16 18 18 18 36 one.
IINM read somewhere non Samsung B die odd DRAM setting numbers doesnt agree with Ryzen IMC for some reason. (Although my RAMs ran at CL 14 on Bios 2.0 (@2400MHz - max able to boot ..sigh)  and then  ran at CL15 on Bios 2.3 (also @2400 Mhz max).
I just did a "might as well lah..." thing and re type all the DRAM setting manually again (thinking how stupid it is just retyping same numbers) and was surprised it booted and used the CL16 setting now.
