I'm very tempted by Ryzen as my current PC is a 2009 Core i5 (first Intel setup I've had in years), and it is finally beginning to show its age lately. However the first reviews of Ryzen I've seen suggest that it is still an immature platform from both a hardware and software point of view, so I reckon I might look a bit more seriously in a few months time.
Similarly, I am giving it a few months to get beat up by the gamers and figure out which motherboards are actually stable. So many times processors get a bad rap for what are actually MB or some kind of system combination stability problem.
I have been waiting a long time for the AM4 platform and can give it a bit more time.
Depending on how things go, I might do a father and son build of this thing with a modest video card, then let him take the best parts of both systems as his new game rig - end of the year Christmas gift.
