Question Swap i5 3570 for Xeon 1230 v2 or 1245 v2 to play, is it worth it?

Good afternoon. I have an i5 3570 with an RX 580 2048sp (Aliexpress), in some games for example, Overwatch 2 has a clear bottleneck, would it be worth switching to a Xeon 1245v2 or 1230v2?

no - those are 10+ yo quad cores , you need a new system
(HT doesn´t help them that much) .
their architecture is too old and clock speeds too low which is a bad combination .
your graphics card is starting to be slow for 1080p gaming as well .

Only if you get the parts for free.
