If you could explain the use case, and also the expected lifespan of this machine, would be better for us to explain.

There is a template for asking PC build advise that has all the above sections, may use that...


EDIT after reading template:
The configuration that you currently have is a pretty decent one. Is there any specific issue that you are facing with it?

If it is a CPU bottleneck, maybe a used 6700k, or a 7700k if supported on the board may help take care of those...

yes there is CPU bottleneck plus i am planning to upgrade my GPU in near future to switch to 1440p gaming when GPU prices are normalised

What are the games you play, and what is the nature of the bottleneck?
Are you not able to hit the 144Hz of your monitor at all?
Or are there random stutters and slowdowns sometime in between?

based on the nature of the bottleneck, suitable solution may be needed..

I think OP wants to re-use his 1660 Super till the time things become normal (if ever)
P.S. there's no 5700x.. Did you mean 5700g?

In older fps titles i get over 144fps, but not in new titles for eg: BF2042, COD
also I play AAA titles where I have getting stutters and random crashes

In that case I think that both, raw speed (6500 non K SKU being slow clocked) and less cores / threads (4C 4T, no SMT/Hyperthreading) are holding you back.
What dhoom has recommended above (5800x I believe, + B550 based system + 16 gig of fast DDR4) will be a very competitive system.

I however, have an alternative proposition:
The new Alder Lakes (12th Gen core) are extremely good in Single and Multi threaded performance - the 12600K (which I think costs ~ 5600x) can match outperform the 5800x in both ST AND MT productivity tasks, and of-course closely match them on average in gaming with the presence of the 6 big cores (with SMT/Hyperthreading) and 4 small cores for a total of 16 threads. This may be a benefit if you ever want to get into streaming etc.

Intel Core i5-12600K Review: 5600X Defeated

The Core i5-12600K is Intel's latest mainstream CPU and a direct competitor to AMD's popular Ryzen 5 5600X. The Alder Lake chip packs 6 P-cores and 4...

Their current drawback is an expensive platform with Z690 chipset boards being over the top feature loaded (even if some of them are DDR4 based - which honestly does not prove to be too much of a bottleneck in gaming performance - check out the Gamers Nexus video on DDR4 vs. DDR5 on Alder Lake)
If you can wait a little bit for the 670 series boards with DDR4 support, the price performance ratio may tilt in the favor of the 12th Gen core based system.

If you're worried about their power consumption - that is an issue when all threads are fully loaded - they are quite competitive in power consumption when gaming.

(AND finally, before someone labels me an Intel fanboy, I am the proud owner of an AM4 Ryzen AMD machine, and am in the process of acquiring parts for a second AM4 Ryzen based system)
 
I guess since you want to buy GPU later, You should get an Intel system with 6 cores or more. And absolutely get hyperthreaded one.
You can use the Intel integrated graphics till the time GPU market becomes normal or you find good used deal.
