none of the 3 options will bottleneck, i would recommend option 3 if you can afford it, amd maybe swap out the RX 480 for an r9 fury, it performs much better.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Heatsink: Gelid Phantom Black GPU: Palit RTX 3060 Ti Dual RAM: Corsair DDR4 2x8GB 3000Mhz mobo: Asus X570-P case: Fractal Design Define C PSU: Superflower Leadex Gold 650W

What I was going to say, rx 480 + i5 is a better deal than staying with a i3.

Ryzen 5 3600

RX 590 8GB 

WD Blue 1TB

Option three would be the best, 1060 and 480 is essentially the same.
