Ryzen 5 1600x Upgrade Kit with my MSI GTX 780 Lightning

Hi there to all the great minds on Tomshardware.

Usually I would be sifting through threads to find answers on questions regarding upgrades, but since I can't seem to find anything related to my question I guess it's my turn to ask the questions.

I am considering buying one of the following upgrade kits:

1.
AMD RYZEN 5 1600X
ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING AM4 RYZEN DDR4
8GB HyperX Predator DDR4 3200MHz RGB RAM High Performance Gaming Memory

2.
AMD RYZEN 5 2400G
ROG STRIX B350-F GAMING AM4 RYZEN DDR4
8GB HyperX Predator DDR4 3200MHz RGB RAM High Performance Gaming Memory

I am currently running the following:
i5 2400 CPU
16GB 1300mhz budget RAM
A second hand intel 1150 socket motherboard I got from a friend
MSI GTX 780 Lightning 3GB GPU

I am having trouble deciding between the two upgrade kits as I am not sure which will give me the best performance when paired with the GTX780.

I play games such as Overwatch, Dota 2, Black Ops 4 @ 1920x1080 - 60Hz.

I also use my PC for design applications such as AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor etc.

Any feedback in helping me decide between the two will be greatly appreciated.

Seems the only difference is the CPU between those two options. I would lean towards the 1600X bundle for the 6c/12t for content creation purposes.

Thanks Obakasama.
I was leaning towards the 1600X bundle too, but according to this guide investing in the newer generation CPU is a safer bet.

For the time being I will consider this my first option thanks to your help.
