I'm building a new PC with an MSI B550-A PRO ATX AM4 motherboard and 16GB of 3600Mhz RAM. I'm trying to decide on a CPU. In Canada, I can get the 5500 for $110, but the 5600 is out of stock. The 5600X is available for $210, and the 5700X is also around $215. My main use will be gaming at 1080p, and I plan to upgrade my current RX 580 8GB to either an RX 6750 XT or a 7600 XT in the future. Right now, I'm using an E5-1620, so I'm looking for suitable options.

Have you checked out the bundle deal for the R5 7600X? It's a solid choice considering future upgrades. Just make sure it fits well with your current setup because it can really boost gaming performance.
If you're looking to save some cash, you might want to consider the R7 5700X. It's slightly cheaper, but keep in mind that future CPU upgrades might be a little more limited.
