I have a ryzen 5 1600 and have had a 1500x in the past, i can confirm they are very bad at overclocking.

Ok i already have an i3 7350k build so i would be better buying an i5 7600k
and overclock it than switch to Ryzen 5 1600 whole build? how much better for multitasking and rendering is the ryzen than the i5 7600k fully overclocked if its better by 20% more i"ll switch to ryzen i think

you would be much better off getting an i7 7700k and overclocking that

then wait for the next gen of intel/ryzen 2
