Better bin, guaranteed to hit those speeds at that TDP.
Not to say that some 1700x's can't reach beyond what some 1800x's can achieve, just less likely.

As far as we know, a small difference in clock speed. Could also be that the 1800X is binned for overclocking.

GerAlt-Right. Ciriously.
No. It's not to be trusted at all. Amazon sellers drastically inflate the price.

Hahaha. Sadly you're not going to be able to move the 5820k at anywhere near 380 considering people can buy brand new ones for the same price. As far as the Asus X99a? 20 bucks off for a used motherboard? Really?
I really hope these arn't USD prices otherwise you'll be sorely disappointed.

Is it too early to plan out a build for Ryzen based on all of the leaked or confirmed prices? I'm trying to figure out one for under $1,000 with the 1700X.
Well if it hasn't been claimed yet, I'd like to throw my hat in the ring as OP.
Along with other CPU/GPU/general tech news and info I've contributed over the years on GAF, I've previously made these two quasi-OTs:
- AMD | Bulldozer, Fusion, AM3+, FM1, and What's To Come
- Intel Ivy Bridge Reviews & Info — CPUs, Motherboards, Sandy Bridge Compatibility
So, is anyone doing the OT?

Is there any reason to opt for the 1700X over the regular 1700 aside from the automatic overclocking feature of the former? They're both 8c/16t.

Mainly for the higher clock. 3.4 base compared to 3.0 on the 1700.

I mean it depends on how many parts you need. If you're looking to build from scratch, $1000 may not be not enough. 1700X+Mobo+RAM though? Well below $1000 unless you're looking to max out the RAM.
Ah. I just assumed you'd be overclocking manually, although I suppose the overclockability of the SKUs is entirely up in the air and it's possible the X may have more headroom.

Id imagine you can find the 1700 for a tad under $400?

Has there been any game benchmarks? I am lazy by not researching myself. I would hope that Ryzen shakes things up a bit but AMD has hyped things before and fell kinda flat.

So are the rumors true and the x1600 isn't releasing at the same time the x1700,x1800 are?
The 1700 may be much cheaper as Amazon's prices for the 1700X and 1800X aligned with this image, which has the 1700 at $319.
Edit: Actually, the 1700X was $389 on Amazon versus $399 in the table, however the 1800X was $499.

Conventional wisdom is that the standard and X variants will come from the same wafer and just be binned based on their performance. So while it's not impossible the standard variants can hold a decent overclock, the chances of the X being a better performer are much higher.
Later on down the line market forces may dictate AMD sell a certain number of higher performing chips as standard. But I'm guessing early on they'll probably be looking to shift as many X variants as they can. And assuming all these leaked benchmarks are correct, there WILL be demand.
Ah, right. Well, fingers crossed that conventional wisdom doesn't apply in this case.
AFAIK the leaks suggest the non X variant comes with a 95W cooler and the X comes with the full fat 140W wraith cooler.
So besides binning that is another possible difference. Though given that we don't have any official information we can't be certain.

So far I have:
CPU: Ryzen 1700X ($400)
Mobo: MSI Tomahawk ($110)
The rest are here: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/ShadowKingpin/saved/d6QLkL
Is the RX 460 4GB worth having until Vega? My current PC has the Radeon HD 7950 3GB, so hopefully the 460 is a decent upgrade until something better when I have more money.

No one appears to have claimed it in the official thread for doing so, so I'd say it's all yours if you make a post.

I don't think the 460 is worth it at all. It's not in line with the 470 or 480 at all. Get the 470 4GB of you're looking to save money. Are you in the U.S. its as low as $120 here. Check on Slickdeals.

I'm just going off what they are actually moving for on Amazon. I agree that it seems a bit too much at that amount but they seem to be selling. I'll probably put it up at a lower cost though. Still seems pretty healthy. I've done it in the past iwth multiple parts. People don't seem to be very good shoppers.

Keep the 7950

U.S. here. Shit, if it's that cheap, I'll go that route. From benchmarks, the 470 gets nearly double the FPS on 1080p, so I may just stick with that for now until Vega.

I just wanted to buy a 6600k, but better to wait for Ryzen?
Yes, prices may go down a bit.

Doesn't cost anything to wait a couple weeks.

No reason not to. Only 2 weeks till you can make a fully educated decision

The Ryzen 1600x should be VERY competitive with the 6600k/7600k. Unless you're near a Microcenter where they have sweetheart deals with Intel, you're probably better off waiting to see how the 1600x, or even the 1400x stacks up

The extra cores will already do you wonders. What kind of performance are you looking at: gaming, video editing, etc.? If it's gaming, we are still waiting for benchmarks, but it is looking good so far (As long as benchmarks are legit). Video editing and multitasking are going to be incredible.
