The 1800x would be my choice probably. Going to be interesting to see how much the new motherboards go for now that they support new stuff like NVME and DDR4 etc.I agree but the chip going to be sold out for months if you don't get it early. I get the feeling from the hype train this thing going to be even harder to get then a cabbage patch kid. I don't see where AMD does not sell a million of these things in the first month. The 1700X is the one I am interested in even though it's on the higher side of things it seems to hold it's own with the Intel i7-6900K. And no I don't own stock in the company I just know that AMD could put out an amazing product once they got their act together.

It looks like the Ryzen 5 1500 and Ryzen 5 1700 are going to be the biggest sellers. Extra 30 dolars for 2 more cores seems like a no brainer but having the higher clock speed of the 1400X may influence people.
EDIT: I am still leaning more towards Nvidia as I just got a new Nvidia GPU for cheap money the 1050 ti and it's a substantial improvement over my 4 year old GPU. So very likely I will be going for the 1070 for my new build.
And yeah, I'm kinda stuck with Nvidia still. Partly me still not trusting them to write decent software, and partly because I still use some applications that have very solid CUDA support and VERY shaky OpenCL support, and having kernel panics in the middle of a 4 hour render job is just no fun.
