Just to give some further thoughts:

Is your Windows licence transferable? If not, you'd have to buy another licence if you change motherboard.

Similarly, you'd be reinstalling everything again. Check if you need to do anything particular with other activated software.

Windows licence is not a problem for me same for the software.

MSI B450M GAMING PLUS or Asrock b450m Steel Legend & 3600, WITHOUT X. 

 

Those mobos are very capable and the CPU is the same as 3600x. And much cheaper. 

 

Or, new b365/b360 motherboard and 9400f. Not as futureproof, but still great 

yeah if i pay i want someting futureproof for sure

Definitely don't get the 3600X, get the 3600. The "X" in this case isn't worth the extra premium for what is essentially the same chip. AM4 is a good platform to buy into considering the upgrade potential down the line (8-, 12- and 16-core CPUs, both this gen and next gen).

Go with Ryzen then. Good budget mobos : Asrock B450m Pro4, B450m Steel Legend, MSI B450M Mortar, Bazooka Plus, Gaming Plus, MSI B450 A-PRO. 

 

B450m-->mikroATX, B450--> full ATX
