Something like an i5 12400 will be a massive upgrade. You'll obviously have to upgrade your motherboard and RAM.

Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

That was the best CPU for your motherboard socket. So upgrading the CPU will mean a new motherboard and possibly new RAM depending on how new you go. As far as specifics go, any midrange new Intel or AMD will be a big improvement.
A 12100/13100/12400 with 16 to 32GB DDR4 Ram and a cheaper B660/B760 motherboard should do the trick (assuming you are recycling the rest of the parts).
That's exactly what I'm doing basically lmao, now I'm trying to figure out how to build the PC myself because the people around me are charging 200$ just to add the parts and everything. I don't got the parts yet but plan on getting them in December
