Well it depends on what you're trying to do. Are you being limited somehow with 6 cores? I can't think of any normal use case where 6 cores isn't enough.

If your planning on buying a new graphics card make sure your cpu isnt being bottlenecked, you can do this by checking on google.

Ryzen 3000 series are already much better thanks to the new Zen 2 architecture. You might be able to catch them on sale since now the 5000 series has been out for a while.

If you need more cores, a 3700 or better is a good choice.
