Hello,

I have been upgrading this PC for years now, and the CPU is way behind. However I'm not sure what to put in. I planned on sticking with AMD, I'm running Linux Mint, and I want to spend $200-300. My monitor is capable of 165 FPS but nothing I play tends to reach that (Counter-Strike 2, Doom: The Dark Ages, Control, other big-budget games). So I'd like something that could help get this thing up to speed.

I'm also interested to hear what other components ought to be prioritized for upgrading in the future.

Thanks

I went for a Ryzen 7 5800xt which arrives tomorrow. As advised I updated my BIOS which was new to me - I got it done first try with no hassle in 20 minutes or so :D . So, all prepared to swap the CPU and to redo my rats nest cable management in one go tomorrow. Hooray, and thank you to all that replied.
