Hello, I own an ASROCK B450 Pro4 and a Ryzen 5 2600X. I’m considering upgrades but feel unsure where to begin. My target is the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X—should I move forward with that? Can I stick with my existing cooler from the 2600X without overclocking just to save money? And if I decide not to upgrade, can I keep using the stock cooler in the Q300L case? Looking ahead, will reinstalling Windows or adding a second drive be straightforward? Any advice would be appreciated.

Consider some additional cooling options too, especially if the stock cooler isn’t sufficient.

The stock cooler doesn't reach the CPU temperature, so I suggest the ThermalRight Peerless Assassin 120 for better value.

The 5800X3D cooler would push the AM4 platform to its limits for gaming. @bluebirthday and it should fit well within your price range. *EDITED

5800X remains a solid CPU choice. Paired with the cooler and PBO, you should achieve cores reaching 5GHz.

Do you think the processor fits the motherboard?
