Here is your equipment information rewritten:

Current hardware includes an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X processor, a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE cooler, a MSI GeForce GTX 1650 GAMING X 4G graphics card, a Crucial 480GB BX500 SARA 2.5-inch SSD for the system drive, an internal SAMSUNG EVO 970 Plus M.2 NVMe SSD, and a Western Digital My Book 4TB external drive. The motherboard is a Gigabyte B450 AORUS ELITE socket AM4 (version 1.0). The power supply is a Cooler Master Elite V3-600W unit, and the case is a Cooler Master MasterBox K500L ATX mid-tower model. I have planned to replace the Ryzen 7 2700X with a Ryzen 7 5800X due to its damage. I understand that my GTX 1650 may limit performance and won’t reach the full potential of the Ryzen 7 5800X. However, I haven’t upgraded yet. My main concerns are: compatibility of all parts, necessary upgrades considering BIOS updates for the B450 motherboard, and whether I should upgrade the PSU to prevent damage. If so, what would be a suitable choice, especially since I anticipate upgrading my GPU to an RTX 3060 in the future?

The AMD Ryzen 7 2700X suffered damage and I plan to swap it for the Ryzen 7 5800x. I want to know more about what you mean by bent pins—did it just stop working suddenly? I won’t be upgrading it at this time.

The system will mainly be taxed with its current configuration.
PSU Tier List rev. 17.0g - Cultists Network
This guide can assist in selecting the optimal PSU from a wide range of options available. Whether you're starting out or upgrading, it covers everything from budget models to top-tier power supplies.

The PSU I have falls into category E = trash. If you need a PSU, aim for one in category/tier A as much as possible. For a setup with an RTX 3060, a reliable 750W unit is recommended. The increased wattage requirement comes from the high transient loads of the RTX 3000 series. Users were encouraged to provide extra capacity beyond standard models.

I would consider replacing the case because its thermal performance is very poor.

Consider upgrading the PSU before the CPU change if possible, but it's not mandatory. You can also delay the GPU upgrade until you're ready.
