Only piece of hardware I saved was my first graphics card, 3DFX Voodoo Rush 4/2 AGP video card. Does a Logitech G15 v2 count as retro? I still use it..

Nice OC on your RAM btw

I'll keep an eye on the 4000 in the future. Good advice, thanks guys.

From what I have been seeing stock vs stock, you would see around a 20-25% performance increase with a 3600 vs 2600 however, the 3600 (or any Ryzen 3000 series) doesn't have much OC'ing headroom so I am not sure how much real performance difference you would see over your current set up.   You might want to just wait.  In fact there are some rumors that Ryzen 4000 will be out some time next year though I am not expecting anything until late in the year if it does come out. 

Keep it imo.
 
A faster CPU could give you closer to the 165hz refresh, but a 2060 is not going to really get you there at 1440p.
 
If you were on a 2080 super or better a CPU upgrade would be worthwhile for that 165fps target, but that's another discussion.
 
For 60fps you'll be good for quite a while on that 2600 IMO. 

In SOME games it might be worth it to consider 4000 though when it launches.
 
If you play a lot of MMOs and the like I'd grab one of those next year, as stated above by others.
 
FPS minimums tent to improve with higher IPC processors in MMOs

You cant get the 3000 series too much farther than you are right now, and if you don't have a need for extra L3 cache (most average users/gamers wont) I'd spend money elsewhere to improve your experience/setup

yeah I haven't really bothered with my RAM since it's just a 1st gen Ryzen. 2666 should be just fine.

I got the same motherboard for my R5 2600. it's pretty decent. And jGD is correct.
