If your focus is gaming the Ryzen 5 2600 is a solid alternative, Games always will prefer better cores over a bunch of cores as the greatest majority is still quad-core optimized.

 

So the Ryzen 7 1700 games a bit worse, and it's main point is for streaming, content creation and other stuff that requires the extra cores.

 

Now careful about going Ryzen 5 2600, it's a build that requires you to overclock it entirely, from memory to CPU in order to extract all it has to offer if you're scared of overclocking or simply does not want to I highly suggest the i7 8700 on a B360 instead.

They should be coming out this month. And since AMD will be having a keynote and CES next week, we might even see them then.
