I was under the impression the OP had 2 systems, the other thread being a brand new build and this one an upgrade of a 4 year old system, is that not the case?

4 years old system upgrade

AliExpress 5700X3d for $155.
I don't know where you live but RDNA2 GPU options are usually the best bag for the buck. 6650 XT, 6750 XT and 6800.

67x0 XT is a great 1080p card if OP can get it for a good price. Hell, I even played at 4K with a 6700 XT, though some FSR was needed.

Some of the 6700XT prices are looking real insane and a few refurbs are hitting shelves too.
1080p 60FPS at sub$300 has me wondering if I should skip the AV1 encoder support and make the jump to a 6700XT.
Knowing my creator habits the whole world jumps right over to it as soon as I dismiss it entirely. (´・ω・`)
Gaming would be perfectly fine though.

I dont your budget, but for a upgrade path, there are a few issues with your current build.
that motherboard isnt very good, even if you put a better CPU in there, it will not squeeze all the performance out of it.
My take on upgrade path is this.
Buy a 4070S you will see a major bump on FPS. but bare in mind that 3600 is gonna bottleneck the GPU.
then, when you have more $$$ go for a AM5 7600 with 32GB DDR5, and Motherboard.
you will upgrade in 2 step but is a building block for future proof.
Dont invest now in "old tech" even if at 1080p ... because later you can get a 1440p monitor for cheap... and 4070S will be perfect.
dont even touch on Radeon GPU's because there are power hungry, Nvidias 3000 series also
... if you do ... check your PSU for upgrade.
4060, 4060 ti is a trap ... they are over expensive for the performance.
don't buy things "just for 1080p", 1440p is becoming more mainstream than ever.
1080p is more on competitive side and it does not justifies ...
