I'll say, go with a r5 3600.

Firstly, u'll have to update ur bios to the latest one.

Yea i know i decided to buy the 3600 but i was worried about preformance issuse thats all so i shouldnt have any bottlenecks ?

Your motherboard can handle the 3600. The newest Ryzen processors are more efficient than ever, so don't worry about power limits, and PCIe 4.0 isn't useful for gamers yet.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

its still a 4c8t cpu, but pairing with rx580, you shall be gaming 100% gpu bound in most cases anyway. 

imo better hold off untill Zen 2 refresh 8 cores
