What's a decent processor for gaming?

It's not that they will beat Intel in IPC, because from the benchmarks released already it looks like they are just short of that. However, they do bring more threads for less price. In the mid-range, they will offer 8 threads for under $200, and 12 threads for under $260, with an unlocked version of each. More threads is what the i5 lacks. It's worth considering.
*I will be curios to see how the Pentium G4560 stacks up against Ryzen's low-tier quad-cores.

Ryzen appears to be more focused on the rendering side of things, taking into account IPC, R&D budget and clock speeds, I doubt AMD will overtake Intel in the mid range consumer market this generation.
@OP, save up till you have about $350 and get an i5, motherboard and RAM.

Wait for Ryzen to launch, check up on gaming benchmarks from Tom's, and other reviewers, and see if AMD can get you better performance/cost than a Skylake i5.

To be honest, there's very little chance of that happening because of the above factors I mentioned and the fact that marketing has been based on x99 comparisons and in workstation benchmarks etc.
Plus the pentium will destroy everything in the low-medium end range.

The Battlefield 1 demo that had AMD's Ryzen 8-core going up against an i7 6900k wasn't a workstation benchmark. You can understandably reserve enthusiasm for the lineup, but we won't know what value this series may bring until they've been tested under public scrutiny.

Yeah, keep in mind this is comparing a CPU with relatively low clock speed (as it is not designed primarily for gaming) to AMD's higher clocked CPU, in a way the extra clock speed cancels out the IPC differential in BF1 due to the higher clock dependency and DX12 setting, but we won't get any solid figures until they release.
Its just more that based on what i've seen i'm heavily doubtful that AMD's consumer line of CPUs will beat Intel out of the gate with a significantly lower funding budget and 5 years out of the CPU game.
