With the mid $100 price range, it worth to upgrade from 2700X since you can see about 25% performance improvement from 2700X
Also from 105W to 65W, you will have almost 50% power saving. These days, your energy bill is getting high but you could save $ with Elec. bill while you enjoy faster CPU.

Also, the 5600G is noticeably slower than the 5600. AMD is not like Intel where the APU is equivalent to the similarly named model.
I was going to say probbaly not. BUT as long as you have the newwest BIOS P7.10 then yea it will work.
Its the last CPU on the list here...

It be a pretty big upgrade for gaming.
But if you can wait another 4-5 months AMDs 7000 series AM5 chips will be coming out. Those use DDR5 and a few other goodies.
So uinless you already haqve a AM4 board and DDR4 memory that works best to wait. Just overlock your currnet system a little to help hold you off. I went from a i7-3770 to AMD and it was a good leap better.

Most importantly, you may run into issues regarding bios compatibility if it has never had an update. If you have an older AM4 CPU, make sure to update the BIOS before switching. I am not sure if DS3H has the ability to perform flashback.
Secondly, B450 boards do not have support for PCIe gen 4. For most cases this means nothing as unless you are moving actual boatloads of data. Just be aware as to not buy a gen 4 drive.
Not really.

Overclock what you have and later this year should have all the new stuff. Worse case the older stuff, 5000 will be older then, should be cheaper.
GPUs are also still dropping. Newegg is really trying to dump their currnet inventory from all their GPU e-mails I get.
i have a 3060ti and game in 1440p mainly.

With cooler you can sell the 2700x around $120 on ebay which will net about $100 after shipping and fees. For $50 out of pocket its about a 20% uplift in performance.
