intel 2500k to amd 1700?

Userbenchmark says no, unless your loads use more than four cores: http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i5-2500K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-1700/619vs3917

It's the same performance per thread as a stock 2500K, so you should expect a significant drop in per-thread performance unless you overclock the 1700 just as hard as your 2500K.

That said, it reportedly can take a 33% overclock, so it might be worth a twirl.

The SSD will make a big difference though.

Some Sandy Bridge boards can boot off NVMe, and a lot of boards you can modify your BIOS to add NVMe boot.

Make sure you're actually getting an NVMe M.2: M.2 is just the connector and board layout, and you can run a bunch of different protocols over it including USB for wifi cards and SATA for cheap SSDs.

Thanks
I did a comparison with 3dmark results, unless I change the video card as well to 1080 or upwards I will not see much of a difference indeed: https://www.3dmark.com/compare/spy/1629395/spy/1630929/spy/1583037/spy/1911762/spy/1690166

And thanks for the NVMe tip, had not noticed that distinction yet.
