Looking for a CPU (and motherboard) upgrade

[VentusInfinitas]

Hey friends, so here is the long story short. My computer was running perfectly fine until recently where it would overheat tremendously and crash my computer. At least that is what I was assuming because on Core Temp I was averaging 85 to 90 degrees Celsius during gaming. I built the comp about 4 years ago so I opened her up, cleaned out the fans and cooler, applied some new thermal goop and started it again. However after I booted her up again she blue screened immediately over and over again.

Sigh... So after lots of troubleshooting and deleting Avira it finally started working "normally". However now I am wondering if she is due for an upgrade.

 

I am currently running these specs: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZJNPq3

 

 

I use this comp for light video editing in Vegas and mostly playing games.

I need a CPU and motherboard that would future proof me for around 3 years or so. 

Budget is about 500-600 dollars, if Ryzen is better value switch me over. If not keep me Intel.

 

Thanks guys, appreciate your input

I would go with this. The Mobo has a massive price inflation but i could not find anything else around. Worth waiting for B550 to start coming in then check out the prices then.

that is worse than the wraith prism.

the B450-A Pro MAX is much better for $5 more.

the 2nd fan barely does anything while also adding more noise.
