i5 8400 with b360 or wait for R5 2600?
Gaming = Intel
Productivity/VM = AMD Ryzen
This still stand pretty firm. Ryzen 2nd gen can go more than 4ghz, which is pretty okay for games but you will need to overclock to get the speed.
Depends on your need and requirement. You weight which is better. Ryzen is need some tweak for better performance output. Intel is more dumb proof due to the fact the market have been catered/optimized for Intel for quite a while now, so the convenience of plug and play is there.
