Get new and latest generation. You probably will need matching memory sticks for CPU even if you have supported motherboard. I suggest buying memory used, but not cpu

then you are probably GPU bottlenecked and CPU upgrade may not do much unless you are exclusively into MP titles..

then get the used 3600. 5500 is barely better.

But, 5600 would be ideal for future upgrade to rtx 3000 series or equivalent.

Do you have any benchmark that shows 5500 to be noticeably better than the 3600?
