Is this a worthwhile upgrade? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Sorry if this is a dumb question. My current gaming setup is a Intel I7-4790k, 32Gb ram and a RTX 2080 Super. I came across a AMD Threadripper 1920x, mobo, 64Gb ram for free basically.

Is that worth the time/effort to swap over? It seems to me it would be, but when I search around for info I get conflicting opinions. So any input/insight is appreciated.

Edit: Thank y'all very much! I think I was overthinking single threaded performance.

Almost same sigle-core preformance, but much higher multi-core.

If you can do it for very cheap then go for it. 12 cores is always nice to have, especially going up from just 4.

Same with going from DDR3 to DDR4.
