I've been running my Ryzen build now for over a week. I must say I love it so far. 8 cores and 16 threads really make a difference when it comes to compiling stuff and running bunch of VMs. I don't really game much but I tried it and everything just feels very smooth. I upgraded from my i7 4770K Intel Haswell machine quad core. Ryzen feels much smoother overall.
The beast in its naked state:
Noctua 15D is just massive.. I swear I could probably just remove the fans and let my case's airflow do the job:
Lights up like a Christmas tree (all these gaming components now days have RGB LEDs it seems), maybe it's a bit tacky but I think it looks cool personally:
One thing I have yet to test is how much faster I can synthesize my FPGA projects now. Maybe I do some benchmarks compared to the old system.
edit: also it's been a while since I had bought a new case. These new cases man, they make cable management so much easier. I can just hide everything behind the motherboard, it's a piece of cake to work on these and make it all look nice.
