I'm currently using a Ryzen 5 5600 with a B550-A Pro motherboard, 32GB of RAM, and a 4060 8GB graphics card. I play competitive Call of Duty at 1080p, but I don't play Warzone. I'm wondering if upgrading to the 5700X3D would boost my FPS. Will I see a significant increase in performance?

Honestly, unless you're running a high-end GPU like the RTX 4080, the 5600 is quite capable for your current setup. You may not see much of a change in FPS with just a CPU swap.
If your GPU isn't being maxed out right now, then upgrading your CPU will definitely help. Check your GPU usage—if it's low, you might be CPU-limited, so a faster CPU might boost your FPS. If your GPU usage is high, then you might hit a limit with your 4060 regardless of the CPU upgrade.
While you might gain some FPS, I think the improvement won't be substantial enough to justify the upgrade unless you're aiming for really high refresh rates like 144 or 165 FPS. The 5600 is already performing well with the 4060.
For competitive gaming at lower settings to maximize FPS, upgrading to the 5700X3D would be worthwhile. You would notice the difference with FPS, even with a GPU that's not top-tier.
Yes, you should definitely see an FPS boost! Benchmarks show that the 5700X3D can give you around a 20-30% increase in performance compared to the 5600.
