Here's an asus benchmark (using an amd fx3570) vs the ryzen:

Here's the instructions for installing it into the older asus board above mentioned. I would also add, that the ram required can be had cheaply. From what I read, you may be governed to 12 gb's of ram after the upgrade; could be wrong. That may vary.
