Question Looking to upgrade computer

[gamesx3]

Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my PC. My current specs are:

Motherboard: Gigabyte AB350-Gaming 3 CF
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
GPU: RTX 3060 (bought recently)
PSU: Seasonic 550W Focus Gold
16GB RAM

I've got some suggestions like buying a Ryzen 9 5900x and a gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2 motherboard to go along with it.
What would be a good PSU to support all that?
Thanks in advance.

also added a cooler that should be fine with it what is your pc case just to confirm?

this would be the last time you would be upgrading the CPU with that mobo.

I would suggest getting the 5800X3D to prolong the life of your PC for as long as possible.

you might not find a mobo upgrade that useful. the 5800X3D uses less power than 5700X and hence is easier on both the PSU and mobo VRMs.

save the cash for a full system upgrade 3 years down the line.
