If it was just gaming I'd probably opt for the 9400F but for the workstation you'll probably want the extra threads the Ryzen's have. Between those choices the 2600 is a good choice but with Ryzen 3rd gen coming out in a couple of months there has been some price decreases with older gens so you may be able to find a 1600 for significantly cheaper and once overclocked the difference is pretty minimal (<10%).
