It's looking that way if leaks are somewhat accurate and there's a 10-15% IPC (single threaded) improvement over current gen. Unless you're gaming at 120+ Hz though (and your GPU will actually run it that fast), you're not going to miss the extra frames at all compared to Intel or next gen Ryzen. 1440p and higher is pretty much going to be a wash and going to be bottle-necked by your GPU way before the CPU.
 
I pulled the trigger on a R7 2700 for 204 (with taxes) today. First new CPU I've purchased in a Loooong time. I figured with the two games it was too good to pass up.
 
Deal is dead already. :( Up to $174.99, which is still the lowest in-stock price going. (Amazon, not in stock until May 16th, back up to $189.99 just about everywhere else)

yep R7 2700 is now 216.72 including taxes for my location. Still pretty cheap.
