You're starting out as a builder with a solid setup. Your components look great—ASUS B550-PLUS, 32 GB RAM, Samsung Evo 970, Masterbox MB511, and a 650W PSU. For CPU choices, the Ryzen 7 3700X is popular but some users mention thermal concerns. If you prefer using your existing cooler, the Ryzen 7 5800X might be a better fit since it's designed for better cooling performance. Your workflow with Sketchup, 3DS MAX, Revit, etc., suggests you value efficiency and precision, so picking a CPU that supports those tools without extra heat issues would be wise.

If you're often on the go or handling heavy tasks, you'll definitely need something cooler. I’d go for a 5800X or wait for the expected 5700X—they perform much better and justify the higher cost.

Welcome to the forum! You can try the 3700x or 5800x with the stock cooler—they might overheat a little but won’t reach their thermal limits. As for the main purpose, if you’re playing games, aim for the R% 5600x.

I work with various software like Sketchup, 3DS MAX, Revit, Rhinoceros 6, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Lumion. Occasionally I use four tools together. I enjoy playing games, but my main motivation for creating these projects comes from using them.

the 5800x, these four together could overheat the CPU. It might be better to use the 5900x instead. You may want more cores for that.
