Should I upgrade to Ryzen 2 Zen+?

[Sam Hain]

I'm quite happy with my current system and it can candle everything I use on it from AutoCad, Adobe CS6 Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects etc. to any fun games like:
GTA V, Crysis 2-3 (very demanding), Far Cry 3-4-5, Battlefield 3-4-1-Hardline, COD WWII (demanding), Metro Last Light-2033 Redux (demanding), Deus Ex Mankind (very demanding).

Mobo: Asus Z97 Deluxe
RAM: 16GB DDR3 2133MHz
CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K Devils Canyon @4.6GHz OC
Storage: Intel SSD 520 180GB (system), Samsung SSD 850 Pro 1TB, MyDigitalSSD BPX M.2 NVMe 480GB + 3 Hdd (TB drives).
Graphics: Asus Radeon RX480 8GB OC
Chassis: Antec P193 V3 - with lots of fans - and it is cool & silent.
Monitors: one 24" TN + one 24" IPS
Internet: Fiber 100 Mbit/s
O/S: Windows 10 x64 Pro

So for the moment I have no plans to upgrade, but in the future or if somethings happen to my system, I could very well switch over to AMD Zen+ or newer with perhaps chipset Z490 - which btw. is not yet available only rumors.

I'm with you as a current 4790K/Z97 owner. My current rig (for the most part) in my sig will be four years old come October and is holding it's own quite well.

Prior to that, was an AMD guy from 97' up until 2014. Pricing, being the primary factor, not brand-loyalty/fanboysim as Intel's offerings during that stretch were much more expensive for slightly better performance (sometimes under) on paper/benchmarks. Two standouts of those older AMD cpu's I used to run were the XP 3200+ and the 965 BE (c3) .

Unless I'm mistaken, AMD at least at the moment seems to get the nod on the price-advantage, even w/ their new lineup.
