That’s barely an upgrade unless you’re just trying to render something on the CPU...

Ok thanks. I have just had some frame rate issues playing Fallen Order and my CPU was at or near 100% a lot so I was just curious.

Consider a different cooler. The 212 evo is really old and not great compared to other air cooler choices on the market right now.

If you are trying to play games and not getting the FPS you want, then yeah upgrade.

If you are still good then don't.

The Ryzen system you have posted is MUCH more powerful than the Intel but I'd get a better GPU if you can.

Or just get a second hand 7700k or something that has HT

What he said...overclock a 7700k if only your cpu is the bottleneck.  Chances are the additional threads alone will make the difference.
