It's not a very large upgrade in performance, but you can sell your 1600 for most of the cost of a 1600 af

So it's worth it in that regard. However if you were after a more significant performance bump, I'd aim for the 3600

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

No, if you want to upgrade I would reccomend an R5 2600/3600 or if you need them extra cores a R7 2700/3700. I have the same GPU and amount of RAM as you and my R7 2700 runs like a dream.

What want to do is sell the motherboard processer together by the tomahawk and by the af for a processer then later on upgrade the processer and cooler

That would give you some better overclocking room and stuff so if that's your plan then it would be worth it.
