I'm looking to upgrade my CPU without spending more than 250 EUR. Here are my current specs: I'm using a Ryzen 5 5500, paired with a B550M Elite motherboard, an RX 6700 (non-XT) GPU, and 16GB of Vengeance DDR4 RAM at 3600MHz. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You might also look at the Ryzen 5 5600X. It's typically a bit cheaper and offers great performance for gaming. Make sure to compare prices, sometimes you can find awesome deals if you're open to used parts!
Have you considered the Ryzen 7 5800X3D? I've seen it priced around €180 where I am, and it's one of the top AM4 CPUs available. If you're okay with buying used, you might find a good deal. Just a heads-up, though—if you plan to upgrade further down the line, moving to AM5 would be the way to go.
