Ryzen 1700 vs 1500x/1600

[2013]

Im trying to figure out what i want in my next build, price vs performance for the best bang for the buck. Ryzen 1700 vs 1500x/1600 does anyone have a comparison, is it just the extra core ?

Thanks.

From a quick look online a few sites are reporting new AMD updates are meant to come end 2017 / H1 2018 my only fear is the new cpus may be the case of bulldozer vs Vishera and they may change socket, with that said should I hold out a little longer or take the jump.

also looking at the AMD site they will be launching a ryzen pro CPU end of the year will that just be commercial CPU ?

in the past my 8 core did not do much but with my luck after buying a 4 core, more cores will start getting used .

I was on two minds go for a lower end Cpu and upgrade a bit later to save some money but it's likely once i get the money together we should have a slight price drop.

So the suggestion is 1700,1600 or wait ?

Thanks,
I do use my PC for more then gaming but Ive had the fx 8320 for sometime so im not sure which way to go.

What kind of funding would i be looking at for a ryzen setup ?

Ive not been in the full loop for sometime Im not even sure what kind of ram i would need.

Thanks

I'm just covering my bases,
I'm not even sure how much the upgrade would cost me or what GPU I would be looking at, I thought i should look at one thing at a time.

Do you guys have any suggestion.

I would like to save in area where possible.

I paid £311 for the 1700, £259 for the C6H mobo, £149 for the DDR4 total £719.

I sold my FX9590 for £110, Asrock AM3+ for £60 and DDR3 for £40(mates rate)

So total outlay about £500. Prices may have changed a bit.

Im assuming i would be lucky to get near that if i waited much longer.

Thanks guys you have helped me out and given me something to think about, for me it will all come down to price v performance.

Ryzen 1700 vs Ryzen 1600
The difference in price is around £100 between the 2 CPUs for the extra core.

Would I get anything more out of the 1700s extra 2 cores at this point in time ?
both still overclock the same am I correct ?

What boards are you guys using ?
A lot of people say get a good x370 like the Asus crosshair VI Hero you can get better results.at the same time others say get a b350 and save the money.
