I'm testing an MSI 1660 Ti gaming setup with a Ryzen 5 2600 at 4.1 GHz. The Ryzen 2700 is available for $150—should this be a worthwhile upgrade or just a good deal? Also, keep in mind the system runs on a B450M motherboard with 16 GB DDR4 3200 memory and a 700W power supply.

It could be a smart improvement for certain jobs.

No gaming, perhaps focusing on video editing or demanding CPU tasks would be more fitting.
