I'm considering upgrading my CPU to improve my gaming and editing performance. Specifically, I'm looking at the Ryzen 7 5700X, which fits my budget. However, my friend is pushing me to buy a whole new PC, which isn't what I want. I'm feeling a bit confused about whether this upgrade is worth it or if I should consider a complete rebuild instead.

This upgrade is huge! Even if you stick with your old RAM, the 5700X will be vastly better in CPU-intensive games. You'll definitely notice the difference.
Just a heads up, you'll need a new motherboard for the Ryzen 7 5700X and you might want to get faster RAM too.
If your current setup is all compatible, you usually won’t need to build an entirely new PC. Just remember, you will lose some performance with outdated memory. But upgrading to the 5700X is a smart choice; you can always improve your RAM later on.
Think of it like this: the 5700X will perform almost like a newer Intel i5, but with a significant jump in efficiency thanks to its multi-threading. If you're doing demanding tasks, it'll vastly improve your gaming experience!
