I'm currently running an R7 3700X with an RTX 3070 Ti, and I'm thinking about upgrading my CPU to the R7 5800X. Will I see a significant performance boost? I'm gaming at 1080p144hz, so I'm curious if this upgrade is worthwhile.

Upgrading to the 5800X would definitely give you a solid performance boost! Hardware benchmarks show that it could be about 20-25% better than the 3700X. Plus, even something like a 5600X would be a nice upgrade too. Just check the prices—if the 5800X is within your budget, go for it! But consider that the 5600X is quite close performance-wise and is cheaper at around $125 in some places.
In my country, the 5600X is about $125 and the 5800X goes for around $200.
