Is it worth upgrading from i7 3770 to R3 3300x

[VGS_XD]

Hi, so I'm planning to upgrade from my i7 3770 to r3 3300x, i mostly play games with occasional rendering, so ipc is kinda important to me. Is this a good upgrade, or should I go for something more powerful, I mostly play minecraft modpacks, which are CPU and RAM hogs, also a bit of GTA, Overwatch, Esports, etc. 

 

A bit off topic but might influence your reply:

My current GPU is 1050Ti but im considering replacing it with a 5700xt because its the only reasonably priced Mid-high end brand new gpu in my country, its mostly for future proffing, i replace my gpus every 3-4 years usually.

The 3300x over a 3770 isn't that great of an upgrade. I'd get a 3600 but wait for b550 boards. You can buy a rx 5700xt now and it will be held back a bit in cpu intensive games but stll will be a massive improvement over a 1050ti.

thats a solid upgrade for gaming if you want to do alot of rendering might be worth going for somthing with more cores like an r5 3600 your current gpu is alright for the games you're currently playing

It's a decent choice, tho rendering performance may leave you thinking about more cores when you do that

yeah, didn't mention but the 3770 is in a sff case, the only reason i bought 1050ti instead of an rx 480/580

Oh alrighty. Then I would just hold off for a bit and wait for the b550 boards so you at least also have ryzen 4000 compatibility. Then get a 3600 + b550 board.

Or spend extra on X570, I doubt b550 boards will be as good value when they launch
