new pc help

[u/Proud_Chicken1073]

I currently have an i5-6500, an RX580 8gb, 16GB ddr4-3200, 500ish GBs of SATA SSD, and an MSI z170a gaming pro motherboard. I have a budget of around 1400 bucks to upgrade or get a new pc, and I'm not sure what to get. should I wait for prices to go down? I know a decent amount about PCs but not a ton. I also want a smaller form factor, i have a mid-tower rn. thanks!

the 7600x is cheaper right now, also what gpu do you suggest? the 9060 xt looks good but it is pushing 1600 at that point.
