CPU upgrade

Hey, guys, I recently got a good deal (£80) on a used Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB DDR4 3000MHz Kit and I think this is my chance to upgrade to something newer instead of buying a used 2600K or something, as DDR4 prices are just ridiculous (I'm using Sandy Bridge). That said, with good options both from AMD and Intel, if I were to buy now (which I'm not, I just want to hear your thoughts) what would you guys go with? Coffee Lake is pretty good, although, I think RYZEN still has the better value, although, there are no H and B motherboards for Coffee Lake. Also, what are the expectations for RYZEN 2?

 

Thanks, Bruno.
