I use a capture card neo with 4k capture utility, and for a long while I never had any real issue. However recently its been freezing and despite my attempts of unplugging, reloading, or updating what needs to be updated the problem persist

Typically ill get a couple minutes, on a good day longer, of the the capture going without a problem. Also I will mention that while the capture part freezes, the game still goes to through to my other monitor thru the HDMI cord so I'm unsure where the problem begins.

Also to note, sometimes when I'm trying to reload the capture software or unplug/replug the neo, other usb devices flash for a second

First off I hardly understand PCs, my partner and roommate typically helps me so pardon my lack of information/understanding

I currently have in my PC a Ryzen 7 1700, and wanting to upgrade within budget I have my sights on a Ryzen 9 5900XT. My assumption is that this will be an upgrade regardless, but in what regard im not particularly sure. I don't game to heavily on my PC itself, but I do stream some smaller games ranging from sprite bases to things like Minecraft

What kinds of upgrades am I getting out of this new CPU? I know graphics cards are also important but I have a budget
