On the plus side, it's a great way to stop your older OS from getting those questionable MS updates. The Jedi Master

If you have no interest in gaming, yes.

I was considering a Ryzen PC for my wife. She still uses my Phenom gaming machine from a few years back. I was going to give her my now-old FX9590 and my RX480 (when I get my Vega). But, heck, why not the latest and greatest for her also.
Thing is, she needs Windows Media Center which is Windows 8. The rumors that Ryzen would not support Windows 8, if true, would preclude her getting something up-to-date.
So, if Ryzen will run W8, it could "make our day".
However, that build is still some time in the future. Actually, all I need is DDR4 memory and a Ryzen CPU -- I have all else -- including W8 and an ASUS 370X gaming motherboard. Her build will probably happen when I get the Vega (so I can give her the RX480).
Sapphire Pulse RX7900XTX, 3 monitors = 23P (1080p) + SAMSUNG 32" Odyssey Neo G7 1000R curve (4K/2160p) + 23P (1080p), AMD R9-7950X (ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420), 64GB RAM@6.0GHz, Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER MB, (4x M.2 SSD + 2xSSD + 2xHD) = ~52TB storage, EVGA 1600W PSU, Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower, ASUS RT-AX89X 6000Mbps WiFi router, VKB Gladiator WW2 Stick, Pedals, G.Skill RGB KB, AORUS Thunder M7 Mouse, W11 Pro
