I'm looking to upgrade my CPU to enhance my performance for video editing and light gaming. Currently, I'm using a Ryzen 5 2600 with an Nvidia 4060 GPU and 24GB of RAM. My motherboard is a B550M K, but my current CPU doesn't support PCIe 4.0, even though my NVMe storage does. I mostly use software like Premiere Pro and After Effects, but I also play games like GTA V. What CPU would you recommend for my setup?

The 5700X3D is definitely a strong contender. If you can't find it, consider the 5800X3D too; both are excellent for multitasking. Just a heads up, though, the 5600X3D is a bit harder to get right now, so the 5700 would be your safest bet!
I recently upgraded from a Ryzen 5 2600 to a 5700X3D, and it has made a huge difference! My gameplay is way smoother, and I can handle both gaming and video editing without any bottlenecks. If you're looking for a solid upgrade, the 5700X3D is a great choice for around $300. Just make sure to keep your RAM in check too, as I had to bump mine up to 32GB to really see the improvement!
Yeah, I've heard that getting the 5600X3D can be tricky, so going for the 5700X3D sounds wise!
