Begore you go any further, be aware that B550 do not technically support with Ryzen 2000 CPUs out of the box but people have said that they do work. I was assuming that you'd get the 5600 with the new mobo. Just wanted to make sure that was clear.
Screenshot I grabbed from reddit user claiming a 2600 worked out of the box on a MSI B550-A PRO.
Anyway, Work? Again a 5600 will be more than enough for most applications. Would need details but I'm kind of asuming if a 2600 was doing you fine you don't need a 8c/16t CPU.
As for high framerates, that GPU you have will only hit high framerate in e-sports titles (which is fine) which a 5600 will handle so I really question what even a 5800/5800X3D would do for you on a day to day basis.
What you should also be aware of here is spending more for more horse power wouldn't make sense as you would be getting near to the price of an entry level AM5 platform at that point as well.
So in conclusion, either go with the 5600 and a €100 B550 mobo or you may as well look at the AM5 platform. Or even if money is tight just stay with the 2600, as long as it works, for now and pick up a 5X00 second down the road. And if you did want to upgrade your GPU you can pick up a 5800X3D second hand down the road as well.
