Thank you guys for the input, but I am a fan of AMD. Intel makes the best gaming processors hands down, I will not deny that. But I believe in competition and must admit I have a soft spot for the underdog. So I would like to stick with Ryzen. I have seen many reviews showing an I5 7XXX beating the R5 1500x. I was more asking if the jump to the 1500X was worth it over the FX 8350 and also if maybe the 1600x was worth the extra $40?
