So, I've had my PC since around 2011-12 and I think 2022 is when I'll need to get some new parts.
I run 1440p on my monitor and I've upgraded what I can to keep me going, like my AMD 7970 to a 1080, new hard drives, SSD and moved it all into a Corsair 450D Obsidian Series case. But now is the time I need to upgrade the CPU + Cooler Motherboard and RAM.
I haven't kept up with the latest in the PC world since I left working my previous job in computers (not long after I got the PC) and I see that the Ryzen 5600X and B550 tomahawk seem to be an OZB favorite.
If I had a budget of about $1k is there something that might take me a bit further before I need to upgrade again? Or is that combo pretty good value for money?
TL:DR- Have a case and 1080, looking to spend 1k on a CPU, Cooler, MOBO and RAM. What should I get to keep me going?
Something like a bundle deal here:

Plus a Noctua will easily come in under $1000.
11600k is an awesome value for money chip when it comes to gaming.
