I'm looking to upgrade my motherboard and CPU, along with getting a new CPU cooler since the screws on my current cooler are stripped and really frustrating to deal with. The CPU and motherboard are the oldest components left in my PC after years of piecemeal upgrades, and I'm not sure what the best compatible options are anymore. I mainly use my computer for gaming and video editing, but I'm also open to suggestions based on what I have right now. Since I got some parts donated, I don't have all the details on every component, like the exact case I've got.

For a solid upgrade, you might consider pairing an Asus B550-F Gaming Wifi II motherboard with a Ryzen 5600X or 5800X. Those CPUs will give you a good bump in performance. Just keep in mind, it seems like you're short on budget for a big upgrade. If you can, hold out and save for a better GPU like the 3060 Ti or so. It’ll make a bigger difference in your gaming experience!
That sounds like a solid plan! I’ll definitely keep saving for a better GPU as the primary upgrade. Thanks for the tip!
