Looking to upgrade to 3700x

[mattdmg]

Right now in my computer I have an

 i7 4790k

GTX 1070

16gb 1600mhz

 

I want to upgrade to

 

r7 3700x (assuming the 5-20% increase at least)

16gb DDR4 3600mhz

m.2 NVMe SSD

 

I use a 180hz G-sync display because I really prefer frames and low input lag over high graphics. 

 

I read a while ago that the Ryzen CPUs achieve better 1% and 0.1% lows despite inferior ipc. Would this contribute to a lot smoother gameplay with better frametimes?

 

I know my FPS won’t sky rocket from a CPU upgrade but I would like my games to run as smoothly as possible
