You have said something quite interesting. Every so often CPU's are released that are exciting, things that spring to mind are Cyrix 586, Cyrix M1 and AMD K7, these were game changers and put Intel on back foot, this new AMD chip feels similar.

Buy the 1700 then. Will come with a cooler and will reach 1800X clocks even with that most likely.
If you weren't going to put decent cooling on, then the 1700X and 1800X are pointless.
Considering a move from a 3570k to a 1700x, or maybe even an 1800x.
I'm gonna wait until a bit after release though, see how people get on with them before jumping.
Not gonna lie though, been tempted to pre order a few times.

Who is the manufacturer of your current cooler? See if they make or are planning on making an AM4 bracket. Unless you're currently using a stock cooler?
Same and I'm not sure where the issue is. Probably PSU related but this is the first time I've been excited about a new CPU for ages so may try a 1700X/1800X.

I am just playing my way through the Crysis series in 2K screen size, I have a Zotac 980 Ti extreme on a Nehalem CPU i7 running at 3.6 Ghz, (6GB RAM tri channel) smooth as anything and it looks the business. So upgrading to anything else with a M.2 PCIe SSD, same graphics card and 16 GB RAM and intel/Ryzen will only be quicker. I cant imagine why anyone with a current or previous gen i7 would bother upgrading at all

I did the same, have the Phantek Enthoo Evolv case ready with the PSU, cables and drives installed. Just need the mobo and CPU now.
I got an RX480 to last till Vega.
second hand fury or 390 can be picked up pretty cheap for a stop gap
I think mine might be memory related. Both versions of memtest spit out errors (takes about an hour before it does though). I can run all CPU stress tests fine, but as soon as I account for any memory tests (i.e. Prime95 blend), it's no longer stable.
