I'm thinking about whether the upgrade is worthwhile right now. You have a 2200g motherboard that supports the 3600, but you're curious about how much the 5600 would improve performance. You're currently using two 1080p monitors for gaming and plan to add another, while also having an OC Strix 1060. The new 3070 is on your radar. It might depend on how noticeable the performance gains are for your current setup.
It seems like you're evaluating two options. The 3600 costs about that price and felt great, while the 5600 is expected to be near $300. You think the 3600 pairs well with the 3070.
$100 is quite the jump so its a different bracket for cpu, but if the 5600 is coming out soon then wait, or buy the 3600. You know the old adage right, analysis paralysis, you will always be waiting for the next thing to come out.
The 5600X is expected to offer marginally improved performance compared to the 10700K, making its price a reasonable choice for the value it provides. If you don’t require that level of performance, you can opt for the more affordable Ryzen 3000 series, which maintains its capabilities without sacrificing speed due to the release of the 5000 series.
