Starting with an i5 4460 and a 1660 GPU, you might want to hold onto the GPU for now before upgrading to a higher-end card later. Your main use cases are gaming, video recording, and light video editing. Comparing these needs will help decide if investing in a newer GPU or a more powerful CPU is better.

If funds are sufficient, go for 3900x. Otherwise, 3700x works well too.

I accept a 3700x easily. A 3900x isn’t going to reach its maximum capacity.

As @Statik mentioned, 3700x should handle your needs well, while 3900x seems unnecessary.
