Question Is it worth upgrading an i5-8400 to an i5-10400 ?

[TCL99]

Hi I am new on this forum.

Would just like to ask if its worth it to upgrade from a i5-8400 to an i5-10400 ?

currently im running
(EDITED)

CPU: i5-8400
Motherboard: asus ex-h310m v3
Ram: 2x8gb 2400mhz
SSD/HDD: 2 500gb ssd
GPU: gtx 1060 6gb
PSU: corsair 450w (2 years old)
Chassis:
OS: windows 10
Monitor: viewsonic 144hz

i mostly just watch vids (youtube,netflix and etc) , do office works and casual gaming (genshin and dota2)
I have no issues or whatsoever in my current setup..

OR

should i just buy a new ram , replace my psu, replace my gpu and buy a mobo w/ nvme?

im already contended with 1080p gaming since this is just my past time.

Your thoughs are very much appreciated.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
Please include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model.

^ Apart from the CPU you've mentioned above, please mention the make and model of each component in your build. that way we can figure out if you're loosing out on performance paths.

Not really worth it, not that much of a difference between the two
Save up for a 12th gen processor.

Hi! Thanks for the reply. Is there any other way just to maximize my current setup? Like buy a new gpu , upgrade high ram and buy new mobo w/ nvme?

Considering your use case there is really nothing that can be done to gain noticeable performance boost. Sure you can get better GPU but with games you play the one you have now is more then enough. NVMe drive? In day to day use speed difference to SSD is not noticeable. Better CPU? Not really on this motherboard. Faster RAM? Again, not on this mobo. Maybe more RAM - but again I doubt you ever run out of RAM with 16 Gb.
