Should I buy a new CPU?

I'm afraid my current Ryzen 5 5600x CPU is outdated and I'm thinking of buying a Ryzen 7 5800x. Should I buy a new CPU? The one I have right now is one of the sowest in the line-up.

    the 5800X is not exactly leaps and bounds faster than the 5600X. it is marginally faster, but seriously though, are you having trouble playing something? i was just about to build a new co.puter for myself with a 5600X. it should be fine unless you are trying for bleeding exge framerates, in which case you'd be better off getting a Threadripper...

    It's impossible for a current-gen processor to be "outdated." Without knowing what your performance requirements are, I can't recommend swapping it out, and the improvement would probably be minor.
