i was wondering would it pay off if i upgraded my system from a pentium e5700 to an amd ryzen 1500x considering i have to buy a new mobo and ram as well

Twice as powerful on a single threaded level & 4 times as many threads??

Plainly its an astronomical upgrade purely on the CPU front before you take into account more efficiency , faster ram speeds/memory bandwidth , faster sata & USB connections etc etc

You're running a budget cpu from 2010 , son of course its an upgrade.

The question is , is your PC now struggling to do the tasks you require of it ??
