All being well, I'm going to go for one of these in the summer - time to upgrade my ageing 3750k

The 3700X looks like it'll be a good one to go for.

Thanks for posting this info, I was on the cusp of buying components to upgrade my 8 year old i7 machine I use in my bedroom.

I had in mind the following:

MSI X470 PRO Gaming motherboard
16Gb DDR4 3000 RAM
Ryzen 5 2600 6 Core CPU with the AMD stock cooler @ 3.6Ghz
2 x Intel NVME M.2 250Gb SSDs in a RAID 0 Config.

Which would have cost £436 inc next day postage (CCL gave the best deal).

But I think it's worth hanging on five or six weeks for the new 3rd Generation AMD CPU and the new X570 chipset which recognises PCIe 4.0
