Worth upgrading I5 4460 to Ryzen R7/R5?

[Kernell32]

Hi guys.
I´m itching for a ryzen cpu, but I can't objectibely determine if I really need the upgrade.

I´m currently rocking this build:

And my target would be a mid range R5 (when they hit the market) and a B350 mobo (ASUS B350 plus or Gigabyte B350 Gaming 3).
I would like to play games like fallout 4 at 100ish FPS (now i'm rangning from 55 to 45 fps, depending on the enviroment)

Thank you!

From what I've seen, Ryzen's big claim to fame is its multi-core/multi-thread performance for the dollar. So if you are running software/games that do not leverage as many cores and threads as possible, then Ryzen isn't going to do much for you. Since Fallout 4 performance is what you want to increase, then take a look at how F4 leverages the CPU. Is a quad core not enough for that game?

If you think you would have a better experience then do it, right now that system should still be playing games really well. Just keep in mind that you will need to upgrade the mobo too

all the claims about ryzen are that it matches or comes close to matching the same performance as Intel 4th gen core CPU's so you won't see much of a difference if you do the upgrade.

Your going to have to wait and see the benchmarks.

Not really for R7 unless you are doing something that actually uses all the cores. Will have to wait and see if R5 acts differently or not with fewer cores. But realistically any improvement will be just as minor as upgrading to Kaby Lake.
