Worth upgrading?

So is it worth to upgrade from ryzen 5 1600 af to ryzen 5 3600?

 

My ram max speed is 3200mhz, currently whit overclock I have  3000mhz and it's Stable.

But is the upgrade really worth? I can  get new 3600 for just 100 euros now on Christmas sale, I got my 1600 af for 100 euros aswell(when it came out). 

My gpu is 1650 super (but planing to upgrade when the prices get normal at my region) 

Tnx for help 🙂

I think it's a good upgrade, it may not perform as well or under the same efficiency as ryzen 5 5600 but still a great CPU. I made a whole excel spreadsheet and chart to pair the data: and it seems that the 1600 isn't one of the best performing CPU in that Era anyway. But you will most likely feel the difference if you upgrade, especially with a newer GPU.

Seems like a decent upgrade, If a 3700 was also an option on the table I would consider that too.

Will my 450w power supply will handle the r5 3600 tho? 🤔

 

And what's the difference from r5 pro 3600 and regular? Cuz I can get pro even cheaper 😅
