I am just confused is this right upgrade path or should i do something else ?

RX 6600 most likely is much cheaper than 3060, and performs about the same.

And, I'd suggest R5 3600 instead of 4500, 3600 is faster than 4500. Or if you could swing it, R5 5600.

The 5600 just shot up in price, making the 5500 a very compelling product when before it wasn't.  I'd take it over a 3600, just barely, if the price is right.

I edit the shit out of my posts.  Refresh before you respond.

Not everywhere tho, only in the US seems like. In my country, it has been the same, because AMD isn't popular here.

I am getting r5 4500 for $100 and r5 5500 for $140 and 5600 for $200 and r5 3600 for $125 which one would be more feasible?

$200 for R5 5600 is too much, $125 for 3600 considering currency conversion is reasonable.

For what you have now, 3600 is a better buy.
