The upgrade from your 2700X to a 3800X will likely boost performance noticeably. You might consider moving to the MSI X470 GAMING PLUS motherboard. Your current setup is solid but could benefit from an overclock if you want immediate gains.
The comparison shows a 6% improvement and an 11% boost when overclocked. https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/AM...3958vs4047
The benchmark shows a 6% improvement, which may seem small but could be noticeable after all. Your i5 3330 offers only a 56% boost over the i9 9900K, so you might want to check the motherboard site to confirm compatibility with the 3800X, especially if a BIOS update is needed.
I wouldn't go for it, it seems like a minor frame improvement for the price of 400 dollars.
I understand you're comfortable with computers setting up simple tasks.
User-benchmark seems to be a questionable tool, often mocked online. Overclocking the 3800x doesn’t really force much performance gain, and it usually comes out of the box well. For better accuracy, consider 3Dmark or trusted expert reviews. It might be wise to hold off until the Ryzen 4000 lineup arrives.
I understand. Please allow a few more generations. I don't agree that UserBenchmark is untrustworthy; its dependability hinges on the size of its data, not external factors like memes.
