I used to be in a similar place to yours, debating on trying to improve the am4 build or saving more and move to a new build, i was also on 1080p
ryzen 5 1600 16gb ram and a gtx970 gpu
I got a used cheap 5600x (no 3d) a not as cheap used 3060TI, 32 gb of faster ram and i also bought a new psu just in case since my older one was already 8 years old and probably was close to cap on the new parts. Also bought a new case as again.... 8 years old the evolution on case design has been staggering.
I can play ANYTHING at high settings 60fps @1080, i could probably ankle bit some games at medium @1440 if i had a 2k screen
I just finished Dying Light the beast for example, played Wuchang, Returnal, hell is us, the lies of p (and dlc). As somewhat demanding games i have finished recently
However if yo rather jump to am5 and can sell your current parts getting a basic low budget am5 build is not the most expensive thing in the world either right now
