Worth the upgrade from FX-8350 to Ryzen 5 2600x?

Thinking about upgrading to the Ryzen 5 2600x. Is it worth the upgrade from a FX 8350? Or should I wait for something else?

The 2600 spanks the old FX series, however you will need a new mobo and RAM as well. Nice thing though is the new 2nd gen Ryzen are less picky about RAM speed and performance.

YES. Big improvement in every way, especially if you are a gamer, streamer, video encoder, or heavy multitasker.
