The upgrade will cause you to lose your fkg mind. It is an amazing difference. What I would do is get a Z690 or Z790 MB, get a decent 12, 13, 14xxx* processor, gobs of DDR5 RAM, sweet graphics (your choice AMD or Nvidia) and a very fast m.2 drive (7500MB+).
* I would stick with the xx700K or better processors. The xx600s and below are suspect at best for gaming.
Significant? When I say you’ll lose your fkg mind, I mean it. I went similar in August. 7700–>13700. It wasn’t just the processor, it was all the other stuff that was upgraded as well. Fast Gen4 m.2; fast DDR5; fast graphics and upgradeable to 14xxx processor (which I might not even do).
IMO, the best upgrade of anything recently is the m.2 drives. Although mine is only Gen4 at 7700MB/s, the new Gen5 is going at 10000MB/s+. It makes booting and applications and … gawd, whatever, just so fast. It’s amazing. GL.
