so since the interrupt window has changed with the new rules When doe's the RoE interrupt happen? Does it happen when you does the move action or after the cost is paid and the target decalred?

Are you asking when Ring of Earth's interrupt is taken, or when it stops the movement?

It would still be taken during the Interrupt step, and stop the movement when Gensai attempts to move. Since Gensai's targeting is optional, it does not occur during the normal choose targets step of the action sequence (step C), but instead when you reach its clause in the action's resolution. This will be after Ring of Earth stops Gensai's movement, and therefore the trigger for Gensai's optional ranged attack will not exist.
