CPU Upgrade Help

I want to upgrade my PC and I've been wanting to update my CPU for awhile. I was thinking somewhere in the Ryzen 3000 or 5000 series and don't really know much about the new series. I believe my Mobo can be adjusted to possibly allow compatibility for the lower end of those series but definitely not the higher. I also have heard prices are crazy right now so I'm not sure where to look to get the best deal or if it's better to wait? Any help is greatly appreciated.

B350 supports up to 3000 series. Seems like R5 3600 will be your best bet.
