I'm currently using a B550M Pro-VDH motherboard with a Ryzen 7 5700X and a 4060 Ti graphics card. I've been noticing that my frame rates seem to be lower compared to friends who have better CPUs. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for a CPU upgrade that would give me a noticeable performance boost.

If you're looking for a solid upgrade, the 5800X3D is currently the top choice, with the 5700X3D being a close second. However, both of these chips are quite pricey right now. Honestly, your 5700X should still be okay for many games, and I wouldn't rush to upgrade unless you can find a huge deal. Otherwise, consider saving up for a full AM5 setup—motherboard, CPU, and DDR5 RAM for a more future-proof build.
What would I need to replace if I switched to a new motherboard? Is it worth moving from DDR4 to DDR5?
