I wouldn't rely on userbenchmark since their records are poor. I prefer 3DMark and Passmark for better results.
For an upgrade, think about going with the 5600 instead of the 5500. It offers twice as much L3 cache, which significantly improves performance on Ryzen processors.
Avoid purchasing the 2600 model—it closely matches your current chip design, offering increased performance and two additional cores. For upgrades, choose at least zen2, preferably zen 3.
It's unclear if the board will accept a 5000, but perhaps a 3700 is more feasible. It's tough—let's do a thorough check to confirm the board can handle those BIOS updates for the 5000 chip.
