Have a question and don't know how to find the actual answer so here I am, I currently have a
r5 3600, cpu
msi b550m pro vdh wifi motherboard
32 gigs 3200 CL 16 trident ram, (4x8 sticks)
Asus ko 3060ti gpu
seasonic 850 focus gold psu
1tb Gen 3 crucial nvme, 2 tb SanDisk ssd
coolermaster masterbox case that's to small my gpu only has about 1.5 inches from fans to psu Bay shroud.

I want to upgrade to a 5800x3d I have a new 1660 xc gpu that was in this pc when I bought it that is in the box after I upgraded to the 3060ti, i am disabled with not alot of money room to do a full out new build but with all the new bells and whistles, I do not like how this pc performs, I get maybe 120-125 fps on warzone, I do get 140-150 on mw2 in multiplayer on smaller maps, I want to do a build around the 3060ti, I was thinking to just take this 3060ti out of this rig put in the 1660xc so I'll have 2 pcs (the one with the 1660 xc will be the streaming pc if I choose to stream) and buy a case, faster ram, psu, x570 motherboard, 5800x3d, faster drives better cooling (noctua n14) but use the 3060ti as that's the most expensive thing to upgrade but I don't know if I'll gain any performance so that's why I'm asking, would upgrading to a better cpu like the 58000x3d be worth the investment or will I not see any big gains?

I wanted to stay am4 I don't like how hot the new cpus run my rooms already an oven lol. I know there's a lot I could take off to get the price down I just built it quick with things I had knowledge of, I would still go with seasonic psu though as that's the most important thing in the pc abs I have never had an issue I've always ran them
