Honestly, I would wait for the Ryzen 5 5600X to become more available before you upgrade. This way you can get PCI-E 4.0 support on B550 or X570, and you'll get the best single core performance currently on the market. Also B550 boards have gotten cheaper recently, especially compared to Intel.

I went from a i7 3770k to a Ryzen 9 3900X on a x570 board about 6 months ago, what a difference!

Ryzen 3600 should be enough if you don't want to spend another $100+ for the 5600.

The intel one is also good, but the total upgrade probably cheaper with AMD (mobo can be cheap).

Duuh, ofcourse, 4 cores to 12!

I totally underestimated the difference  Especially doing a lot of Adobe Photoshop / Lightroom editing!

Any of these would be a huge upgrade, but i'd wait for the 5600X to be widely available and pair it with a decent B550 board. Or wait a little more for the 5600 non X to come out, which will be closer to 200-250$. It will come, but we do not yet know when. AMD can't just forget about the market under the 5600X's price range.

If you are into streaming and not using nvenc, go for amd. Intel is not good for streaming at all.

If that waiting time can be 2-3 months, i would wait for 5600 (nonx).

AMD probably already have it ready by now, and they probably still waiting for the older 6 cores part to be absorbed as much as possible.
