My current motherboard is the ASRock A320M

I don't want to OC just keep things normal/stock so should I just upgrade the processor instead?

Specs:
ASRock A320m
Ryzen 3 1200
Corsair 16x2 at 2666
Rx 6600 8gb
Corsair CX 550 80+ bronze

If you don't need anything "special like OC or fast RAM), that MB would do for a 6 core CPU, I would just grab a used R5 2600 or 3600(non-x), they should go for cheap nowadays and would be more than match for that GPU.

It's always best to check locally where you ca return easily if anything wrong.
So I chose the Ryzen 5 3600 & with 6 cores it'll be good just for gaming, I didn't want to buy the Ryzen 9 3000s 12 cores cause it's expensive at the moment & from research that's too many cores just for normal things & gaming, & With the 8 cores theyare kinda out of my price range right now even though it's $100 more, The 5 3600 will be better than my 3 1200 though.
