There is a possibility I could get a 6850k and motherboard for ~$300 even. Would still need to add memory, but that's still a pretty good deal even compared to Ryzen. I could wait for for Coffelake, but that's months off and assuredly a decent board + 6 core CL will be what, $600 minimum?
I guess my question is - has Ryzen completely eliminated this chip from contention? $300 sounds great but even if I could clock the 6850 to 4.4GHZ, would a 1700/1800 for similar money still be better?
For my use cases I don't think I'll ever notice a difference between Ryzen and this so lowest possible cost seems like the right option.
