Hi,
Reason to upgrade:
- gaming only
why so many cores (10 minimum):
- a lot DB/OS for learning purpose (work related development)
Is it worth to upgrade my current systems CPU (e5 2697 v3) with something like intel i9 7900x/7920x ?
My current setup
- e5 2697 v3 @ 3750 mhz
- 32 gb(4 sticks) @ 2133 (it's 15cl 3200 mhz memory but will not work at more speed due to processor))
- gtx 980
Soon I will upgrade my gpu to something new (as I moved from 1080p to 1440p) - in plans gtx 1080/ vega 64 (only because of free sync) or new 11XX card.
So does my processor needs to be upgraded due this? Will I see any difference in gaming (note I'm playing high FPS games - mostly FPP)
I have somehow managed to overclock (all core turbo + fsb on 104.5 (within safe range of 5%)) it a bit and it's quite good in general:

a bit worse in thread that AMD Threadripper 1950x that's why I ruled out AMD
- Cinbench R15 - 2443 more than i9 7900x but only 145 for one core
- Passmark - 23419 total / 2257 one core
- 3DMark FirstStrike - 23 105 CPU - more than Threadripper 1920x

- 3DMark TimeSpy ~ 10 733 CPU - better than Threadripper 1920x and Threadripper 1950x a little less than i9 7900x

- CPU-Z - 6885 Multi-Core / 405 Single Core (version >CPU-Z 1.8 )

So as you see multicore performance is there but single core could be better (depending on test it's even behind AMD Threadripper).
In plans would be to overclock new cpu (+dellid) and use the RAM at full speed.
So should I upgrade the platform or it's pointless ?
(cost would be like 400$)
Thanks !
