I currently have Z97 system with G3258. So should i wait and switch to Ryzen 5 series, or buy i7 or i5 for LGA 1150. i7-4790K price in my country 360 euros.
 
Solution
Agreed, wait on ryzen 5 and then check performance along with the price. It may be cheaper to go with the 4790k rather than ddr4 ram, new motherboard, new cpu and a reinstall of windows for little to no performance difference. If ryzen's cheaper to do all that and offers similar performance then consider amd.
