"Upgrade to a Ryzen 7 5800x3d a few years old now but still a very good cpu, and you don't have to change the motherboard etc :)"
"Any Ryzen 5000x3D cpu would be a massive upgrade and won't require a full mobo+RAM change."
"5800x3D is the best gaming cpu for am4."
"5700x3d is especially good for what you're going for."
"5700X3D. Full stop."
"5700X3D for gaming if you want to keep your current mobo."
"Update your BIOS on your motherboard and get a 5700x3d."
"If the price difference isn't much I'd get that one instead of the 5700X3D."
"If I was in your shoes I'd get the 5700X3D and maybe use the savings for a better cooler."
