Upgrade to ryzen worth it?

[acon]

So I have an older ivy bridge pc with an oem hp motherboard with a core i5 3470 and a gtx1050ti, 8gb of ram. I was wondering if i should get a better case and power supply to put this system in for around $200 or scrap it and go with a ryzen 3 1300x based system with the same gtx 1050ti? Would the upgrade to all the hardware be worth it? Or am i okay for awhile with my ivy bridge chip? Also would put an ssd in it to replace the wd blue 1tb hdd.

The 1300X wouldn't be a big enough upgrade to justify the money spent. I'd keep using the Ivy Bridge chip.

Basically , don't upgrade a component that won't show at least a 40-50% speed increase.

You'll be good for another year or two especially if you're mostly buying entry level GPUs like your 1050 Ti. Save the money for a proper upgrade later

Either save the money for a big upgrade or get a 2600/3770 for cheap.

A new case and power supply would be sufficient though right?

its not going to make the machine any faster , so if the placebo effect of buying something helps you than you can if you want

Well the thing is its a small form factor so I'm limited on half height gpus. And the cooling really sucks. Plus I was thinking of just being able to reuse the new case psu and cooler with a bigger upgrade in the future once I save more money. The board in there is a regular micro atx though.

well if you want to then you can
