Hi! 425 USD for ryzen 5 2600x, tomahawk b450, and 16 GB of hyperx fury 2933. Is that a good deal? IT is already ON sale, but i dont know if i should wait till ryzen 3000 launches. Inputs?

Price looks OK, once 3000 comes out it may fall even more but fro CPU only. 400 series chipsets will be actual for long time as 500 is not bringing much new except for PCIe 4.0. Ryzen 3600x is going to be more expensive by at least 50 bucks or more.

I think a deal of 20% off from this website for the bundle is Worth IT. Do you? Right now i have an i5 4670k, 16 GB of ddr3 ram and a 1070. Is IT Worth swapping?
 
The prices of the ryzen zen + will still drop.The question always become do you want to upgrade or do you need to.Are there any games where your pc struggles(like cpu intense games)if i were to build a pc today i would wait for the 3xxx series.I built my ryzen 5 2600 in november and it was worth it.But the cpu was 3.5k in my currency and the memory was 1.4k.They are down to 2.8k for the cpu and 900 bucks for the memory modules.I predict it will drop a lot more.

PS price to performance it's hard to beat ryzen 5 26xx models
