I'd probably go with something like this as a prefered choice although bear in mind the B550 Aorus elite is currently out of stock at OCUK but can be found in stock elsewhere.
No need for new ram as the 3200/16 is good enough to carry over.
Added a 1TB NVME but this is optional extra although a "nice to have"

An intel option which would give a couple more FPS but may well lose to Zen 3 / ryzen 4000 CPUs when they release later this year. Also you dont get as many cores so may need to upgrade sooner.
