Should I upgrade my Ryzen 1600?

[Brand24]

Hi just wondering if I should upgrade to the 2600 or 2600x.
Will I notice any performance gains (FPS) or am I best to keep the setup I have now.
I only game on it no video editing or streaming and I play @1440p.
I can recycle the 1600 into a pc I am going to build for the missus later on.
PC specs below;

My CPU and GPU are water cooled in a open loop neither go above 50'c on a cool to mild day.

Acer Predator X34.
Gigabyte Aorus gtx 1080 ti
Asrock Taichi X370 (flashed with latest BIOS).
Ryzen 5 1600 OC stable at 3.8ghz 1.325v
16gb G.Skill Flare X 3200mhz
Samsung 860 evo M.2 sata drives and SSD's.
850w PSU

if u didnt overclocked your r5 1600 and didnt fiddle with ram timings to reduce latencies, then there wont be much difference

At 1440p any gains would be quite minor if noticeable. Even at 1080p the gains are rather small. I wouldn’t consider it worthwhile.

Wait for the Ryzen 3000 series, there will be a bigger jump in performance.

I wouldn't bother upgrading until the 3000 series either as 10-20% more performance is rarely worth the trouble and barely noticeable in most cases. The 3000 series will hopefully have enough architectural improvements to give it a more substantial boost over the 1000/2000 series.
