I personally wouldn't recommend upgrading right now. You're not going to get any noteable benefit from upgrading. A GPU upgrade would more than have you covered.

I would upgrade to the 3060Ti to better suit your monitor, but other than that everything else has you covered.

Once the next generation AMD comes out it'll be more worthwhile. As then you should get some life out of the socket.
