Currently still gaming an FX-8350 , AM3+ based rig and really considering the option of picking up the R5 2600 + B450 combo.
I know the benchmarks speak for themselves as the move would be worth it. One other primary concern is how is the power consumption compared to the 125W based FX-8350?
I know when I game with the FX-8350 and previously an FX-6300 in the summer you can really feel the effects of the heat generation in the room.
Is power consumption great enough factor to make the move? I'd possibly be carrying over an RX 570 as well to the potential new system.

Only reason I had thought to research on if power consumption / heat output would be a factor is based on:
-- I work from home a lot.. so my computer is potentially on for 12+ hours a day
