If you are someone who is comfortable with overclocking then for every ryzen product so far... yes buy the cheapest variant of the processor you want.
There are some special cases like a slight difference in TDP on the 8 core chips and the lowest 4 core (8 thread) chip has less cache so get the one up from it. But generally you just get a better performance per dollar ratio by buying the cheaper processor.
