I know I will get judged extensively for this, But I have fell in love with the AMD Ryzen. Very cost efficient. My rig is comparable to the performance of my friends i7 build that he has dropped close to $3000 in. I am all in, with a 8gb Radeon Rx 580, 16 GB DDR4 3k Ram, Ryzen 7 1700x, 1 TB HD, 250GB SSD, Liquid Cooling, MSI b350m mobo and two 27" displays for right at $1000.
