Hello guys I'm looking forward to upgrading my build, especially the CPU, however, I'm not sure which one should I pick. This is my current build.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 CL15 Memory
Storage: Samsung 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Asus GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB STRIX GAMING Video Card
Case: NZXT H500i ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair CXM 850 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM 64-bit

The main reason i want to upgrade is that i feel that I'm not getting the FSP i should get with this build and this GPU. For example, i play GTA Five M at around 50fps and CSGO at 170FPS. I also want to start learning game development and I think i will need a better CPU to work with Unity.

It's the Ryzen 5 5600X a good upgrade? Will I need a cooler? I'm currently using the cooler that comes with the 2600x.

Is this PSU overkill? I think it's very noisy, should I change it?

TY very much!
