Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my CPU from a Ryzen 5 2400G, as it feels a bit outdated now. My current setup includes an Asus A320M-K motherboard, an MSI GeForce RTX 3060, 16 GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR4 RAM (2x8 GB at 3000MHz), and storage with a 512 GB SSD plus a 2 TB HDD. I have a budget of about 25,000 INR and I'm prepared to buy a new cooler and potentially upgrade my motherboard, along with adding another 16 GB of RAM. I've got my eye on the Ryzen 7 5700X since it's compatible with my motherboard. Any suggestions or insights would be hugely appreciated!

I’d recommend going for the Ryzen 5 5600X instead. The VRM on your A320M-K isn’t the strongest, so the 5700X might not be the best match. It's worth considering the performance boost you'll get with the 5600X, especially for gaming with your RTX 3060!
The 5700X is definitely faster, but if you can grab a 5600X, it's a solid choice for your graphics card. The A320 boards can support the 5000 series CPUs pretty well, and while the VRM isn't terrible, it's something to keep in mind. Also, ditch your current RAM and consider buying a new 2x16 GB kit with 3600 MHz if you can manage it!
