I currently run an 8350 build and I'm looking to upgrade to Ryzen. Since I'm strictly gaming with my build, with "some" OC'ing. I was thinking of going R5 1500X with an B350 MB and 2x4GB ram at 3000Mhz. Would this be a good combo?

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?
