I'm looking for a solid CPU upgrade that works well with my Pro B550M-VC WIFI motherboard and my NVIDIA 4060 Ti. I mainly play games like CS2 and R6 and want to get the best performance possible.

Avoid the Ryzen G series CPUs; they're a bit problematic with this motherboard since it runs better with dedicated GPUs like yours. You'll want to steer clear of those models.
Consider going for the Ryzen 7 5700X or even the 5800X/5800XT. Just keep in mind that the X3D models can be overpriced right now. Make sure you have a nice dual tower air cooler or a 240mm AIO to keep it all cool.
A 7 5800XT is definitely suitable and should perform well with your setup. Just make sure all your cooling and power supply needs are met!
The Ryzen 5600 or the 5700X3D are great options. They're powerful enough for gaming and should pair nicely with your 4060 Ti without breaking the bank.
Is there a way to check how many fps the 5800XT would give me in CS2?
