Me too! After the 7700K didn't quite manage to tempt me, I was hoping Ryzen would be it.
Next year, I suppose!

Upgraded my 2500k and the difference was massive

This will lay waste to your ancient 2500k - 4 cores and a paltry 4 threads versus 6 cores and 12 threads on the Ryzen 1600. Not to mention your motherboard is ancient and missing all the modern features of mobos today like m.2 and USB3/4.

Thing is I really don't use my PC all that much these days outside essay writing. Anything gaming wise my R9 285 is a bigger bottleneck, and most new releases I just get on the One or occasionally the PS4. Its not so much processor cost either. Its having to buy DDR4 RAM as well which is the killer given prices atm.

not very knowledgeable on pc parts but will this cpu work on a asus m5a97 evo r2.0?

No it wont work on that motherboard, you will need a motherboard with the am4 socket

I've got the 1600, currently overclocked to 3.7Ghz and Corsair Vengeance 2400Mhz DDR4 Ram Overclocked to 2933Mhz. These CPUs can reach 3.9Ghz on the Stock Cooler if your mobo is up to it and possibly 4Ghz with another Tower air or water cooler if you win the silicon lottery but just be careful of the temps!

Haven't overclocked my 2500k yet so no need to upgrade :sunglasses: Don't play games any more :disappointed:

Expensive, lol. What are you expecting? Seriously? DDR4 price isn't going down anytime soon.
