Your current setup runs smoothly with the specified components. For CPU upgrades, consider models like Ryzen 5 5600X, Ryzen 7 5800X, or Ryzen 7 5800X3D based on your needs. If you want better cooling, look into high-performance coolers for your existing setup. It’s worth checking the latest BIOS updates and testing new parts before deciding. You could also wait for newer releases from AMD or Intel if you prefer staying current.

Upgrading to the latest AMD/Intel processors means you'll need a new motherboard (and likely more RAM too), which makes it significantly costlier. If you're on a tighter budget, I'd suggest holding off and looking for one of those CPUs on the used market, as you might find good prices then when the new AMD chips arrive.

Among these processors, any would be a significant upgrade over your current setup. The 5600X offers smooth performance and solid cooling, while the PBO delivers great results. The 5800X runs hotter but provides more cores and higher boosts than the 5600X, though it still heats up. X3D is the most powerful for gaming, but it’s not ideal for other tasks due to its lower overall performance compared to the 5800X. If you’re focused on gaming, X3D is the best choice. Otherwise, the 5600X or 5800X would be better options.
