hello frands, looking to upgrade my old ass PC you all provided me with updo Diablo 3's release lol

Current PC:
Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Z77 ATX Intel Motherboard
Core i5 3570K 3.4GHz LGA 1155 Processor
4x SAMSUNG 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model MV-3V4G3/US (16 gigs)
Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Rosewill HIVE Series HIVE-750 750W Continuous @40°C
XFX Double D FX-785A-CDFC Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-bit GDDR5
coolermaster 212 evo cpu cooler
Crucial MX200 CT250MX200SSD1 2.5" 250GB SATA 6Gbps (SATA III)
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s
Looking to hopefully keep my case and psu, I dont mind them but not sure if the case supplies enough airflow for the new shit.
34UM88-p monitor as well

No need for windows/monitor/mouse or keyboard, just tower. Cheaper the better, I need a strong CPU for my photo editing though, current one is struggling. Cheaper the better for budget, would like to stay under $500 but can go higher if its worth it.

https://www.walmart.com/nco/AMD-Ryzen-7-3700X-With-Free-3-Pack-32GB-Flash-Drives/683827621

$269 for the 3700x

Extra $25 bones for a GPU and can up the budget to 8-900 also. I have the money, im just not looking to buy a 3080 lol Id say $350 for a gpu would be right in my wheel house. I could stretch it to $500 for a 3070 but I really dont game a ton so not sure if itd be worth it?

Thank you for helping me out, a few friends are telling me to wait to see what AMD releases but I dont know. I can wait till whenever but obviously would like to buy sooner. Whatever gets me the most bang for my buck.
