Hello. You're considering replacing the CPU and motherboard in your Intel Core i5 6600K system. It's running well after overclocking, but you're planning to play Diablo 4, which is pushing its limits. You're evaluating the Ryzen 5 3x or 4x series for a better balance of price and performance, though it seems these motherboards come with a higher cost. It might be normal. Also, some users suggest a BIOS update may be necessary for certain boards. If you're unsure which board to choose, let me know—I can help clarify.
Budget, country, and usage? If the cost gap between 5500 and 5600 is under $20, pick 5600; otherwise go with 5500 because 5600 seems too expensive. Most models from 5500 shouldn’t need an upgrade yet—just ask a store to handle the BIOS update if needed.
Hello. Budget around 200-400 euros in Sweden. Lower the cost a bit but opt for quality items that last longer and spend a little more. Gaming mainly, the main intense game would likely be Diablo 4, with Dota 2 or Overwatch as alternatives.
I would choose the Intel model: PCPartPicker provides a detailed list.

Combined cost: kr4882.24 with shipping and taxes included.

Don't think you need those high-end chips. With a 2060 RTX, your GPU should handle it fine. Or maybe you're just stuck with your CPU at this point.
