GW2 is extremely CPU heavy, so you want to get the best CPU you can, as you said especially taking into consideration single core performance. GPU is of less concern so you should be fine with what you have I think. I run it on Ryzen 5 1600, and RX580 8GB. It runs alright, but you can really hear it. Biggest effect to me were CPU and SSD upgrades
I run with a Ryzen 5 3600, and I've been considering the Ryzen 7 5700X3D for a few days...
I bought Ryzen 7800x3d, improvement was huge from Intel 9th gen. Those x3d CPUs are really good at games. But you still have to: disable shadows, character limit medium or lower to keep fps reasonable. You can look for videos using processor you want to buy in GW2 on YouTube. If you also have solid AMD GPU, you can combine their fluid motion frames with good CPU to get best possible performance in GW2 right now. Fluid motion frames is a frame generation technology that you can turn on in any dx11 game
