A rumor, but hyped as very credible, verifies some of the previous speculations:

AMD Ryzen Lineup & Prices Confirmed, 8 Cores For As Low As $320
..expected on-shelf availability on March 2nd..
..include the Ryzen 7 1800X, Ryzen 7 1700X and Ryzen 7 1700. All three of these have been listed for pre-order on a number of online retailers and feature 8 cores and 16 threads..
..AMD’s highest performing Ryzen CPU, the 1800X will retail for less than $499. A piece of information we made public nearly three months ago in our exclusive Ryzen report. So we know that much hasn’t changed since November...
If it turns out this way, I'll spend the extra $100+ for the insignificant extra 0.2GHz -- however, I expect most folks to be smarter than that
I've already updated the disks in my current system (the one in the signature) towards the Ryzen build -- I added 2 3TB and 1 6TB drives (replacing 3 smaller HD). I have my new case.
