Put that CPU as minimum because of price compared to others. You know what games you play, and what else you do on your computer, if necessary get CPU with more cores.

I'm not sure what your situation is exactly, but from a pure performance to cost perspective, you pretty much have to upgrade to a Ryzen X3D chip to see a really good performance improvement.
If you look at the 5700X3D, that chip beats the 9700X in some games and matches it in others. I know you don't have the X3D version, just the plain 5700X. But It would be far more economical just to buy a 5700X3D instead.
If your looking to upgrade platforms for other reasons, then great! But just from a pure gaming perspective, its almost better to just sit on what you have and wait until you can afford a X3D chip like the 9800X3D.
