This will outperform the Ryzen build by quite a margin... http://www.pcgamer.com/intel-i5-8400-review-the-best-new-gaming-cpu-in-years/

By reducing to 8 GB of RAM, I was able to put in the 6-core Ryzen 1600.

The only reason to go with DDR-4 3000 is if you plan to overclock.

Stock on the coffee lake linup is very low atm and will only start picking up production in januari. So if you can find one get it asap otherwise you just get a ryzen 1600.
