Upgrade from Ryzen 5 2600, for gaming and 4k editing

[elektro]

Hello,

I've been looking to upgrade my CPU for a while now, skipping the 5600 option, and going for a ryzen 5 5700x. I game with a 1440p monitor and feel my cpu is bottlenecked in some games, especially Starfield and Hell let loose, as regardless of which video setting I choose, my fps doesn't change.

I edit with Sony Vegas 14, and they've removed the option to render things from my GPU, so anytime I'm working with 4k videos, it's very sluggish, playback is usually only a few fps.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated.

Current specs
B450 Tomahawk Max
Corsair 16GB DDR4 3000 Mhz C15 XP 2.0
Ryzen 5 2600
Nvidia 3070

Thanks

For productivity/gaming a 5900X or if you want more gaming emphasis a 5800X3D. Both will cost about the same. Upgrade your ram to 32GB.

Do you have any recommendations for the best ram for my motherboard?
