If you are not really hard pressed to get it immediately, in a couple of months the Ryzen 3rd gen. lineup looks pretty promising... https://www.techradar.com/news/amd-ryzen-3rd-generation

I would wait for the 3rd gen since it seems they perform much better than gen 2(rumors say so) AMD is likely to tell us about it in few hours but actual launch might be few months later. I would say it is worth the wait.

when do you need it?
now? then buy the 2600
next school term? then wait...
