I myself upgraded to a 5950xt pretty cheaply because I was giving my 5600x to my son, and the more cores at a lower price were a much better buy/price decision than getting an x3d chip that has limited performance returns at higher resolution than 1080p

This is awful advice for anyone with a smaller budget. AM4 setups are still plenty fast and a big savings compared to newer AM5 setups. Even with the huge sale on the 7600x for $150 (normally $180) you're still way over the price for an AM4 system. For the $167 savings you could buy a used GPU or if not gaming save even more.
AM5
$150 - 7600x
$140 - MSI B650m motherboard
$120 - 32gb DDR5
=$410 on sale
AM4 $167 less
$153 - 5800XT + 16GB DDR4
$90 - MSI B550m motherboard
=$243
You can use lower spec motherboards or less RAM to save even more. PCs don't have to cost a lot, though everything has been going up in the past few weeks.
