Forget the 3600x, get a non-x 3600 instead with a better cooler. IT'll boost up to higher clocks with decent cooling than a stock 3600x.. 

Life is really challenging. I don't always suceed: )

The R5 3600 and 3600X feature the same performance. 

 

An R5 2600 costs way less and the performance jump to 3600 does not justify the extra money spent.

My recommendation would be a simple Ryzen 5 2600 or 2600X, maybe even the Ryzen 7 2700 with its two more cores.

 

And maybe changing the motherboard for some great X470 one like the MSI X470 Gaming Pro Carbon AC, would save you some money for a stronger CPU or graphics card.

@aBrokeGamer

And don't forget an Aftermarket Cooler for Ryzen3600! The wraith stealth is just NOT CAPABLE ENOUGH for a six core. With a budget-mid range cooler, you will get much higher boost speeds on PBO&Auto-OC... anything around the 25USD mark is a vast improvement over stock cooler.

Life is really challenging. I don't always suceed: )
