If you're not a power gamer, this CPU will suit you just fine, some will tell you that you need x3d sku but not sure that's true if you're looking purely at value. Will largely depend on your GPU and what resolution you're trying to run.
Hope that helps ya out!
My current rig is too old to save anything. Building all new and haven't selected a GPU yet. I'll be running 1440p resolution though.
We're on SD, so clearly value is important to me, but I'm also willing to pay if it makes sense. Some may say I should go big because I hold onto my rigs 8+ years. But going big usually means an ultra premium price, and honestly I simply don't need that much horsepower.

i run it at -40 bios undervolt, 65c limit. it stays under that and never makes any noise.
i never really thought about it since i put it in. and set those setting.

I would recommend using something like pcpartpicker and building out a AM4 computer and a AM5 computer based on your budget and see which one might be most value for you.
P.S. Look into 7500F from aliexpress which performs very similar to the CPU posted but costs like $40 less
Your looking at around $240 for a AM4 5600x combo vs around $340 for a AM5 7600x combo. If you don't mind rolling the dice with a AliExpress 7500f you can knock another $50 off the AM5 combo. I ordered one and got it sealed in a blister pack within two weeks and it worked great. If you went with the cheapest A620 chipset board and a AliExpress 7500f you are about in the AM4 combo range.

Ideally, I'll get my hands on a Ryzen 7 9800X3D within the next couple months. Yep stock is zero now. Yep it's not cheap either. But, it's benching as top 3 if not 1 CPU on Earth, for under $500 MSRP. I may not need that kind of power, but the value is crazy for a top-tier flagship CPU. So I was debating waiting and blowing a wad to build with it VERSUS a more value-oriented build, like maybe this CPU . Which are both AM5 anyway. 😄
If I was in your shoes, the best upgrade would likely be to plop down for a 5700x3d to replace the 5600x and let that carry you until next gen AM6.
After that I'd start saving for an eventual GPU upgrade, but 3080 is still decently capable today.

Its amazing how well the old 500 series has held up over the years. I dont know about modern AAA games, but it was such a good 1080 card from the jump!
