I'd go 7600x for the future upgradability. But if your just gonna game then get the 7600 non x which costs the same and performs the same while being much easier to cool and draws less power

building a new PC? or upgrading an existing one.?

Since your sig says that you already have a B550 board, I'd just upgrade to the 5800X3D in socket. It will save you hundreds of dollars and performs about the same.

Thinking about ASUS TUF GAMING A620M-PLUS

Don't skimp on the motherboard as that will very much limit your ability to replace the 7600x with a higher core count variant cpu or even next gen cpu. Honestly motherboards are very important and you should get a decent quality one.

In that case, get a B650 board and the Ryzen 5 7600X. It performs about the same as the 5800X3D, but comes with a solid future of upgrade possibilities. Just make sure you don't skimp on the motherboard's VRM.

 

Luckily, most B650 boards are pretty good, so just avoid the Asus Prime B650M-A, the Asus Prime B650-Plus, and the Gigabyte B650M K, and you should do fine. Even the cheap Asrock B650M-HDV/M.2 has a good enough VRM to handle the 7950X, so with a decent board that cheap, there's no reason to go with an A620 board.

ASUS PRIME B650-PLUS lloks ok

If you never intend to upgrade the CPU, it would be fine, but the VRM sucks. It can't handle a stock 170W TDP part - so no Ryzen 9 7900X or 7950X - which will also apply to any future Ryzen parts with a 170W or greater TDP, greatly limiting your upgrade path.

 

That testing Hardware Unboxed did is at stock - no PBO applied or anything - and the board's VRM goes over 100C.

 

If pricing in your area is such that the Prime B650-Plus is the only reasonably priced option, it's not a completely garbage board, but I wouldn't recommend it if you have options with better VRMs, as getting a board with a good VRM today could let you upgrade to a top-of-the-line part in 4-5 years.
