Ryzens are very good in terms of value now compare to Intel. Their R7 1800X just dropped in price (8C/16T for $350). They are excellent chips for content creation. If you just want to games, then buy a i5-8400 or sthing like that. But I would highly recommend waiting for Ryzen 2, and B/H 300 series mobo for Intel. Don't upgrade your GPU just yet, the R9 290X can still able to hold up for 1-2 years, Nvidia Volta is coming.
