2600x to 3600 - is it worth it?

[Joxeon]

Thanks, will definitely check this out. I'm not going to upgrade anything till I secure the GPU. I'm kinda forced to buy GPU+CPU+mobo+ram together as my old setup will go to my wife. Still not sure if I will need new PSU(I have OCZ500MSXP (for 1080) and CX750W(for 30XX) one).

Maybe look for a prebuilt then if your going need a lot of bits as it takes the hassle out of finding a GPU. This don't look bad for the cash considering you get the 5600X + 3070ti included.

that is quite expensive seen rigs same spec as low as 1100.

Yeah, as said further up the jump between the two is significant but is not worth its cost. A good upgrade would be to the 5600x, but then again if your motherboard doesn't support it, it may be better to wait for your platform to become aged and obsolete to the point of it being unusable and needing an upgrade. But, if you need the upgrade then it would be a noticeable improvement.
