I know Ryzen is just around the corner and the reviews aren't quite out yet but... my old faithful 3570k (currently at 4.7Ghz) doesn't seem to have any issues with modern games. I have a 1700X preordered from Microcenter but the more I think about it the more it seems sticking with the old i5 is a better choice now and that I probably won't see much of an improvement in games. My desktop is pretty much only used for gaming now. Any thoughts beyond the obligatory 'Wait for the reviews'? Thanks!
Depends of the graphics card paired with your setup. But up to GTX 1070 you will fine with your CPU. I had a 4690K@4.5Ghz and the only game that generated a noticeable bottleneck was the Forza Horizon 3
