I was planning on a Ryzen 7 1800x for my new gaming build (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8QvkcY)
and many said wait for Ryzen 2. I've seen intel being better since its a gaming only build, but wanted some second opinions.
 
Solution
if only for gaming, 1600x is enough for your build
there is no merit going for 1800x if only for gaming as Ryzen 7 series is more for workstation

Ryzen 2 is said to be little more powerful, more efficient and cheaper than current Ryzen (even tho they use the same AM4 socket, and X370 and co. need BIOS update for later compatibility)

and yes, if you gonna gaming only, i7 8700k is ofc better suggestion for you
