Ryzen 5 5600x upgrade to Ryzen 7 5800X3D...

[Shalalalaaa]

Is it worth it ? or upgrade to a new mobo and find another proc?

A new motherboard and a new processor will also require new RAM. You may as well just build a new PC at that point. The X3D is for gaming not for software programs and the like.

Is your current system performing at a level that is acceptable to you?

Pay now, save later or save now and pay later. That's the choice really.

^ this. While the 5800X3D, or the 5700X3D, are great performance for their price (e.g. value); I'd personally not look at going from an existing 5000 series CPU to one of them unless you are having some specific CPU performance issue that you are trying to improve/resolve. A 5800X3D is still a great upgrade; and for gaming specifically is the best you'll get on your current AM4 platform.

What are your other specs? Possibly install CPUz and run the validator, then post the result link here so people can see what your other hardware and configurations are.

With a 5600X, chances are you are still well above current-gen consoles and will be able to run most current/new games at mostly medium or better graphics presets with 60+ fps without issues. If that is the case, then I'd suggest waiting / saving up for another year or so and then do a new build within your saved budget with whatever motherboard, RAM, CPU, and GPU offer you the best performance/value at that time.

Unless you have a higher end GPU, you're not going to notice a real difference in most cases going up to a 5800X3D from a 5600X, you're better off waiting until AM5 has more to offer

Do you need extra CPU power right now? If so, yes, you can see 20-30% bump for applications that can use the difference for good. Whether the price and hassle worth it only you can tell.

If you are okay-ish with what you have, then it's wiser to run that system till you clearly feel it's shortcoming and get the best value modern stuff.
