I plan to focus on games and work, but comparing the 2700x model with a cheaper option makes sense if it’s on sale.

It will be marginally less in these jobs. However, it shouldn't be a big deal. If you're getting a discount, it's still a solid chip overall.

Apologies for the question, but with more cores and threads it shouldn't slow down—it should improve performance.

Secondly, consider adding the 3300x 3600 - 6c 12t @3.6ghz and 3300x - 4c at 8t @3.8ghz. The main reason is the 3300x offers better value. Which option would you prefer?

The 3600 and 3300X use a newer design that offers significant speed improvements. Despite this, the 3600 isn't ideal for suggesting a 4-core processor in 2020.

Switching from a 2700X to a 3900XT is great. I enjoyed the 2700X and its performance was solid. Now I’m aiming for more power in my 2080Ti.

Yes, having more cores and threads allows the system to handle more instructions simultaneously.

since it doesn't perform as well in those tasks compared to the 3600, you might want to check the current prices of the 3600x and 3600xt models. In some situations they're only a bit more expensive, around 10-20, which could be worth the extra performance. The 2700x is available now at a lower price, and having 8 cores still works well for daily tasks. Some games benefit from more cores, such as the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 you're likely interested in. A 3700x would be preferable then, as the 2000 series Ryzen chips are decent for gaming, though the 3000 series is superior. The 5000 series will be much better. However, the 5600 chip won't be released until March 2021, so unless you're willing to wait, go with the 3600x, x or xt.

You'd likely think the 5600x offers more performance than the 3600. You can also connect it with this ASUS motherboard link: https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboards/ROG...-A-GAMING/

I'm not sure, but others believe it will work better. It should run smoother in games. That’s a certainty. Likely similar to an i5 10600k, though we’ll need to confirm. You’ll probably need a BIOS upgrade and remember to download it first before replacing the CPU if you don’t have another machine to get it from. Also, check out this video for guidance on picking the right board.
