I want to upgrade my processor to 5600x and on mobo website 13 days ago update popped that will support 5000 series ryzen, i was wondering should i upgrade my MOBO aswell cause i plan to use it only for gaming and i want to buy M.2(Adata 500GB Swordfish 500G-C) and maybe faster RAM (2x8 3200Mhz) instead of MOBO. I keep hearing from some friends that i have to get a better Mobo first.  Thanks for reply. Cheers!

I'm confused on what currency you use, so I'm just going to state parts that I will recommend.

The 5600X is a good choice, although if you pair it up with a B550 board, you'll need to update the BIOS.

Your current motherboard was a good choice for the 2600, but it won't suffice for the 5600X. You can get a B550-A Pro from MSI.

As for RAM, 2666MHz will choke Ryzen. Consider getting a Crucial Ballistix 3600MHz, but if you don't have the budget then a 3200MHz kit will do.
