I'm currently using a Ryzen 5 2600 CPU with an RX 6600XT GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a B450 motherboard. I think my CPU might be holding back performance, especially in games like Minecraft. I want to upgrade to a more modern CPU while sticking with the AM4 platform for compatibility. Any recommendations for a solid CPU upgrade option?

If you're looking for solid upgrades on a budget, the Ryzen 5 5600X is a great choice. If you can spend a bit more, the 5700X3D will give you fantastic performance, especially for gaming.
Absolutely prioritize upgrading your CPU! The 5600 or 5700X3D are both excellent, but be mindful of the price difference. The 5600 should still handle your gaming needs without issue.
Thanks for the suggestion! I'm leaning towards the 5700X3D.
