It really depends on how you're using it. A RTX 3060 at 3440x1440 might be the top choice for gaming. Boosting to 5700X3D could push the highest possible frames, but only if your graphics card can handle it.

Yes, it would definitely be a good improvement, but you need to confirm you have the most recent BIOS for your motherboard before installing the new processor. How are you currently managing the processor's cooling?

I think a quicker graphics card would be a better improvement, though it might require replacing your PSU as well. The 5700X3D is a solid upgrade over the 3600, but it may not boost FPS as expected when using a 3060 at 3440x1440p resolution.

It could happen, though it probably won't be very obvious on your present GPU. You'd also need a more powerful one to get the most out of the upgrade.
