I'm currently using a Ryzen 2600 and an RTX 2080 on a 1440p setup, but I'm looking to upgrade for BF6 and other modern games. I've been out of the hardware upgrade scene for a bit and would love some advice on which processor I should go for on the AM4 socket—maybe the 5600X or something even better? Also, if anyone has suggestions for a GPU upgrade, that would be great! My other components include 2x8GB of DDR4-3200 RAM and a 550W power supply. I'm not on a strict budget, but I prefer not to completely rebuild the system; I just want to make the most of what I have!

Before anything, be sure to check your budget since that really affects your options. If you're flexible, upgrading to the 5600X combined with an RTX 4070 would be a solid combo. They both have similar power requirements to your current setup, so your 550W PSU should handle it without a hitch.
What motherboard do you have? Knowing that can help narrow down your choices. If it’s a good one, the 5600X is definitely a great upgrade, and you might also be able to fit in a beefy GPU like the 4070. Your B450M Mortar should work fine!
Good point! OP, have you checked the specs on your motherboard yet? That could also influence your upgrade path.
