I'm currently using a 9060XT GPU and planning to upgrade from my Ryzen 7 3700X CPU. I typically play older games and expect to keep this setup for the next 4-5 years. Also, I'm curious if investing in a 4K OLED screen would be a waste with my current hardware setup.

Honestly, the Ryzen 5 7600 or 7600X would be a great match for your setup.
I upgraded from a Ryzen 3700X to a 5700X and noticed about a 15-20% performance boost in some games, especially when paired with a good GPU like the 3080.
If you're just swapping the CPU, the 5700X for about $165 is your best option. You might also want to check the used market for 5700X and 5800X—they’re great performers. Just keep in mind that the 5700X3D and 5800X3D are currently overpriced.
It really depends on how old the games you play are. For instance, Witcher 3 runs beautifully in 4K on a 9060XT. If you don’t want to switch to the AM5 platform, you might consider the 5700X or 5800X.
