Depends on what games you will be playing, but overall its a MASSIVE improvement.

like playing open world games and adventure games with choices in it like witcher 3 and mass effect, i also play black desert sometimes. i know that the gpu is the main component when it comes to gaming so im uncertain if its going to be a waste or will i even see any improvements at all.

Witcher 3 and Mass Effect and more GPU-demanding than CPU, so a GPU upgrade would honestly do you better for those types of games, than a better CPU.
FPS,MOBA games like CSGO, Valorant for example are more CPU-demanding and that when you are really going to see and feel the biggest difference if you upgrade your CPU, while open world games like Witcher 3, Cyberpunk,etc.. require a way better GPU than CPU, simply because there are more details to process.
What is your budget for this upgrade, and what's the exact make/model of your powersupply?

my psu is evga 450bv. that's what i thought, might as well just wait and save up a bit more to upgrade both cpu ,gpu, and psu at the same time, my days of playing competitive games are long over so i wont benefit from it haha. thanks for answering my question.

Yeah, your pc is a good budget build, but for more demanding games its just not enough. Better save for an entire new build!

do it. its good, but i would swap out to a 5600 if possible and also a RX6600. You can get a used 6600 that wont cost much especially if you can sell your existing gpu

I made this post intending for the cpu to just be a small upgrade, the 3600 is $70 while the lowest 5600 ive seen is $140 (not from us, just converted). Is the price disparity worth it to get the 5600? i planned to just get the 3600 now then follow it up with a gpu upgrade but after i posted this i just thought of saving up and buying it in one go since i wont get much improvement if i just upgraded the cpu it seems.

In that case get the 3600 then and a new gpu. You wont see much difference in performance when gpu limited with the 3600 or 5600

alright thanks, is there going to be much difference if, lets say, i upgraded my gpu with an rtx 4060?
