[Upgrade] CPU/Mobo/RAM

Hello everyone,

i would like to upgrade my current CPU to a newer one, because i got back into video editing and therefore need a little bit of help with my decision...

 

My current setup is:

 

PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bjF7Mc

CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5 GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($219.54 @ Amazon)
CPU Cooler: Thermalright HR-02 Rev.A(BW) 73.6 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  ($386.49 @ Amazon)
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 Memory
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-2666 Memory
Storage: *Samsung 860 Evo 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($59.49 @ Amazon)
Storage: *Samsung 860 Evo 1 TB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($148.93 @ Amazon)

Storage: *Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($44.83 @ Amazon)
Video Card: MSI GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER 8 GB GAMING X Video Card  ($414.99 @ B&H)
Power Supply: be quiet! STRAIGHT POWER 10 CM 600 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply
 

And i would like to upgrade to this:

 

PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WhXrq3

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor  ($174.99 @ Amazon)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler  ($33.33 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard  ($114.89 @ B&H)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 Memory CL16
 

So basically i would like to upgrade my CPU and RAM (and therefore need a new Mobo aswell) while keeping my PSU, GPU and Storage drives.

I do use the PC for gaming aswell and would like to play current and upcoming titles in full hd, no need for 1440p or higher. Is there anything you guys would recommend me to rethink/change, or does it look fine to you?

Thank you in advance :)

Nothing to add here. All looks good.
