As long as a CPU has two or more cores, single thread performance is important. http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-780-vs-AMD-RX-560/2164vs3926 says GTX 780 is 94% faster than AMD RX 560.
According to https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/AMD-Ryzen-5-2400G-vs-AMD-Ryzen-5-1600X-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-1800X/3183vs3000vs2966, among Ryzen 5 2400G, Ryzen 5 1600X, and Ryzen 7 1800X,
Ryzen 5 1600X has the best single thread performance, but Ryzen 5 2400G is currently the best deal for near-future gaming needs.
However, to obtain an intel CPU or a Ryzen CPU, I need to build a new machine. I don't want to spend that much money just to play more games when I can still play a lot of games with my current machine.
An upgrade has to be about more than gaming to justify expenditure of money. I still need to flesh out system requirements for my other tasks.
I don't see a compelling upgrade path from FX-8300 and HD6450 for now.
