I currently have a Ryzen 5 5600X, its a very good processor for gaming but I'm looking to upgrade it since I also want to stream and work on it.

The programs I use for work are: Unity - Blender - DaVinci Resolve and Adobe (Photoshop and Illustrator).

Im not a Amd fan, but I have a very tight budget (350€) to upgrade the CPU and motherboard if i go to Intel.

My current setup :
MB : MSI TOMAHAWK B550
CPU - Ryzen 5 5600X
GPU - 6800XT BE (BLACK EDITION)
RAM - 32GB 3200mhz
Storage - 2 x Samsung Nvme 1TO
PSU - 750W

Thanks for the help.

Well, amazon.fr has it for

What 12th gen cpu should I look at (for my usage) and since I need to change motherboard any suggestions ?

Thanks for the reply :)
You won't be able to touch the performance of the R9-5900X with anything from Intel because you'll have to buy a motherboard. Your budget, including the cost of a motherboard, would limit you to an Intel CPU that would be about as fast as your R5-5600X.
