Used Ryzen processors available in various conditions.
You're considering a CPU upgrade from your Ryzen 3 3200G. I've discovered some used options at reasonable prices, but I'm unsure how much the performance differences will be between the Ryzen 5 2600X, 3600X, 3600, 5600X and Ryzen 7 3700/2700X. This would support both gaming and engineering tasks like 3D modeling. Let me know if you'd like more details!
You should consult your motherboard maker about compatible CPUs and required BIOS versions. Most boards support various models, but it's safer to confirm or upgrade if needed. Saving a headache is worth it. For gaming, aim for 5600X or 5800X3D based on budget, and for 3D modeling, go with 5900X for better performance.
The choice of software you select largely determines the extent of performance improvement.
