I'm looking to upgrade my CPU from a Ryzen 5 5500 to another AM4 processor. I can't afford a full AM5 upgrade right now. My main use for the computer is gaming, especially competitive titles like CS:GO or Valorant, along with some engineering software. I have a budget of around €250 (about $290). I'd appreciate any suggestions!

If you're looking for a solid upgrade, consider the Ryzen 7 5700X. It's a beast for gaming and will give your system a noticeable boost in performance. It’ll feel like a whole new PC!
What other components do you have in your setup? It's always good to know what you're working with for the best advice!
I currently have 16GB of DDR4 RAM, but I'm looking to upgrade to either 32GB or 64GB soon. Also, I have an RTX 2070 Super that I plan to change out.
I just checked some benchmarks and you're right, it makes a huge difference. Thanks for the suggestion!
