If Curious how this performs, it's basically just the 5600G without the G, so you can use this chart of 1080P performance to see where it falls compared to what you have today.

You can cross refence performance with this chart if you want the AMD 7000 or Intel 13th Gen....

Unfortunately neither the 5500 or 5600G is on the second graph.
More than decent budget CPU.

The pros of the Intel are that it is a little faster in most tasks, but much more importantly the LGA1700 socket gives you an upgrade path to an i7-13700 for cheap in a couple years. The cons are it doesn't come with a cooler, but you can get a better cooler than the AMD for $25. Also, the Intel obviously isn't helpful if you are already locked into an AMD motherboard.
Ebay prices on a used A320 start at $50,, I would opt for a new current gen board before I spend that $50 on a used one. I have a local MC that I could get a new b-450 for $80 but why..
Edit: You are actually starting to get bottlenecks starting with a RX 6600 XT, so its a bit more severe than something like a 3070/6700 if you are pushing FPS over quality. https://www.techspot.co
Btw, if it's a new build, you can also consider the i5 11400f/12400f etc depending on sales for CPUs and motherboards as they also support PCIe 4 and are decent for gaming. I got an 11400f and z590 a year ago at a deep discount. It's been fantastic for high refresh 1080p ultrawide gaming.
