I currently have an Intel i7 3930k running at 4.4Ghz and I am very happy with it. It seems to run everything I throw at it just fine but I'm thinking of upgrading to a Ryzen 1800X.
I'm just wondering what sort of difference I would see between the two CPUs? I don't game as much as I used to. In fact the only two games I really care about haven't come out yet and they are Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen and Chronicles of Elyria. I'm mainly doing productivity stuff. Programming, video editing, and basic office / browser and email usage.
So do you think I'll see a decent improvement if I go ahead and upgrade? I'll be buying premium components so I shouldn't bottleneck anywhere. Hopefully the cooler I am planning on getting will allow me to overclock the system nicely.

. Thing is I want to give my current computer to my Dad so I could kill two birds with one stone by upgrading now. I think I'll go for it. I've been wanting a new computer for ages now and if I don't buy now I'll have to wait until the second half of the year for the new high end Intel chips which will probably be more expensive anyway. I've been saving for this computer for about 5 years so I should be able to get something good.
