I'd agree since you already have a pretty modern CPU. I upgraded because my CPU is a bit older and I'm impatient, but if you are not, I would follow 5's advice and wait for intel to make a big move, if they do.

Yeha Zen2 will be faster but his current CPU should be ok in most games. However Idd strongly recommend waiting for Zen3

Then he's waiting for 2021 or 2022 - Intel's 10th gen is currently looking like a rebrand of 9th gen
