R5 5600X vs R5 3600 - Worth $200 difference? [AUS]
Get a 3600 and keep it even if the prices go down on the 5600. There is no point to spend money needlessly. Just because there is a new generation it doesn't mean that you must buy the new products instead. The 5600X is too powerful for a 3060 Ti and there is no need whatsoever to get one. The most important factor when it comes to gaming is the GPU. The 5600X is not going to magically boost your fps to another level.
What you said about CPU and high resolution does not matter here. You probably heard that in videos where they used a RTX 3090 on 1080p. If you want to have hundreds and hundreds of FPS you need a top end CPU at 1080p but this is not relevant here in a "normal" gaming setup. It's for tryhards who think getting 360 FPS on Counterstrike will make them better players.
You can check benchmarks and see that the 5600X increases the fps only slightly over the 3600 and that isn't worth the additional $200 especially since a 3600 is more than good enough to be paired with a 3060 Ti.
