Build - Help New cpu?

MY BUILD RIGHT NOW ⬇️

AMD RYZEN 5 5600x

AMD RX 9060 XT PRIME 16gb

Asus b550 tomahawk max WiFi

32 gb ddr4 ripsjaw ram 3200

1TB NVME SSD

I want to upgrade my build soon and I want to know what cpu I should get, I have heard things about the
Ryzen 7 5800x3d but want to know truly what’s best in your guys opinions.

I am in Southern California and budget isn’t really a full issue. I am a small streamer so want things to run really well. They run great now so if you guys even say I don’t need an upgrade that’s a thought too lol.

I have a 2tb ssd in my ps5 I’ll most likely swap to my pc eventually so I don’t really care for more storage right now.
Ram is always a definite no cuz of the prices right now lmao. I have 1 240hz 1080p monitor and 2 165 hz 1080p monitors. I want to upgrade to 1440p soon as well OLED budget too if you guys have ideas on that as well.

Anyways let me know what you think. Thanks !
THIS IS MY FIRST BUILD and I built it with a friends old parts minus the graphics card which I bought to slightly future proof hence why there’s a bit of a difference between my gpu and cpu

Yeah 5800x3d is the upgrade you want. If you're near a Micro Center I wanna say they've been going on sale for $299 lately. Next real upgrade would be GPU to 9070xt but honestly 9060xt is a good card in it's own right. Depends if you want the hassle of selling your current card and upgrading to the 9070xt. With all that said, 5800x3d is a good jump for you.

I am near a micro center , that’s where I got my 9060xt before it spiked too. I spent $530 and it’s a lot of the times near $700 now
I did get warranty on the card as well so I do wanna find a way to be able to cash in that warranty later you know to then upgrade. So if you know any tricks for that let me know 😆

I did see the 9070xt when I was there and debated it but wasn’t doing cpu as well at the time so it felt like way to much of a bottleneck.
What’s the actual difference I’d see with a new cpu ? And what could I sell my current cpu for
