I'm looking to upgrade the CPU in my girlfriend's PC, which she rarely uses. Right now, she just plays one game and does typing tests online. Here's her current setup: Ryzen 7 3700X, B650 motherboard (though I think it's actually AM4), Radeon 9060XT, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 750W PSU, 500GB NVMe boot drive, and a 1TB NVMe storage drive with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 cooler. I'd love to find a CPU upgrade that offers some performance boost without costing a fortune since this PC isn't used often. I prefer to stick with the AM4 socket if possible.

The Ryzen 5 5700X would be your best bet for a worthwhile upgrade without breaking the bank. It will give you a decent performance boost for gaming and general use. Just make sure it's compatible with your motherboard.
