Core i3 7100 or wait for Ryzen 3?

[Wardo01]

Hello,

I am building my own PC and I have never built one before. I will be using it for some gaming, some light photo and video editing, and some day-to-day tasks(I usually have around 20 chrome tabs open). I was originally going to use an Intel Core i3 7100 with an MSI B250M Pro-VDH mATX mobo but then I heard about Ryzen 3 releasing in 2H'17. Should I just buy an i3 7100 or wait for Ryzen?

Thanks

There's really no reason to buy the i3 7100, if you were going to buy it then get the Pentium G4560 instead. It's basically the same thing with a worse integrated GPU. Otherwise, you don't really need to wait when you can get the R5 1400 for only a little more than the i3
