Also some are telling me to return the current products I purchased and switch to ryzen 2700x? Is it true it's out performing intel?

Depends on the task. If it is a heavily multi-threaded task, something like video editing or rendering, 3D animation, etc, then yes, the Ryzen 7 2700X beats the 8600K, because the 2700X has more cores. But for gaming, the 8600K will either give you better or similar performance to a 2700X. Either way, you have no solid reason to return that 8600K, keep it.

Well I've decided I'm returning the 8600k for the i7 8700k
