I want to upgrade my CPU and GPU while keeping my current motherboard.

I'd more upgrade to something along the lines of a 5600 and 6600xt since going to a 3600 from a 3300x really isn't worth it.

Thanks for the advice. I was going for the 3600 because I didn't know if I was going to have to upgrade my power supply and wanted to save some money just in case.

It's an okay psu, it'll definitely hold up with this upgrade since the 6600xt really isn't that power hungry compared to mvidia gpus

I'd probably wait for buying the cpu since it usually hovers at ~170 and you would probably see a price drop with Am5 release, but it's not a bad buy if you need it asap
