R7 1700 to R5 3600

After seeing tons of benchmarks with various cpus, it seems like I'd see a significant increase in gaming performance if I switched, and the multithreaded work load would be roughly the same. Would it be worth swapping over to the 3600? I can buy it locally today for $215 US (after tax). I have an x 370 motherboard (Asrock x 370 Fatal1ty Gaming X) and there is a beta bios release that says it supports the new series of chips. I should also note, I'm running an RTX 2070. I'm kind of torn on what to do so I'm bring it up to you guys. I mainly do gaming and have been getting into recording some game footage and light editing. I figured if I went this route, and decided to do more editing or streaming I can always upgrade to the 12/16 core chip down the road. Thanks guys!

If I left anything out, info wise, ask and I'll answer it.

the VRM will be really upset with anything bigger than the Zen 2 8 core

So sure it'd be worth upgrading to? And if need be, down the road, I don't mind swapping out boards. Basing this all on whether or not I take advantage of the cores outside of gaming.

Gaming wise, the new 3000 series chips should be noticeably faster. But productivity wise, they aren't too far off, though the extra cores and threads on the 1700 does have its advantages in most workloads, but the optimization of the new chips could make up, one way or another, in terms of other performance aspects and overall performance uplift...
