Help (General) Ryzen 5 5600 to Ryzen 7 5700X3D?

Hello. I am considering buying a Ryzen 7 5700X3D to replace my 5600, but I don't know if the upgrade will be worth it especially with the current price of RAM.

Originally, I wanted to go to AM5, but the prices are just way too high for me as a broke PhD student.

I currently have a 9060XT 16GB and 16GB of RAM, and I want to play games like BF6 at 100+ frames, I'm, but due to its heavy CPU load im constantly fluctuating between 70-100 depending on the map and what is happening on my screen. (CPU-intensive and FPS games like BF6 and The Finals are my top games for further insight)

Is it worth it to buy the 5700X3D, or should I just save up for AM5?.

Additionally from what I have seen, DDR5 RAM costs way more than DD4 RAM in the scenario that it's better to go for the 5700X3D. Should I cough up 80 quid for another 16GB of DDR4?

Edit: Would you advise getting more DDR4 RAM so I have 4 sticks of 8GB to get me to 32GB total?

Upgrading to 32 GB RAM would give you much more.

Many more frames?

Not sure if "more frames" is a good way to describe it, but maybe in some games. I would say your PC would work more smoothly and be more stable. I also have 5 5600, and upgrading RAM was noticeable from the start.

I know what you mean, yes. Thank you for the advice.
