Hey everyone! I'm planning to upgrade my gaming setup since my current one isn't performing well with modern games. Here's what I'm working with: a B450M Steel Legend motherboard, 16GB of Corsair 3000MHz RAM, a Ryzen 3500X processor, and a Radeon 5600XT Sapphire Pulse GPU, all powered by a Corsair CX550 550W PSU. I'm mainly just looking to replace the GPU and CPU, and possibly the PSU. However, I'm unsure if any of the current AM4 processors would be a good match for my new GPU. What do you all recommend?

What’s your budget for the upgrade? If you can stick with the same motherboard, that could save you a lot, especially since you wouldn't have to buy new DDR5 RAM right away. Just make sure you pick a CPU that pairs well with your new GPU to avoid future upgrades.
That’s a good point! I’m definitely trying to avoid unnecessary expenses, but I also want to make sure I don't end up with a processor that could bottleneck the GPU later on.
