Hello everyone, consider upgrading your R5 3600X to a 5800X3D/5900X instead of your GPU. Your board should handle it fine. You plan to run low-resolution or light graphics games and CPU-heavy titles like CS:GO. The MSI B450 Tomahawk Max with AMD Ryzen 5 3600X at 3.8 GHz Arctic Cooling Liquid Freezer II280 works well with ASUS TUF Gaming X3 GTX 1660 SUPER™ OC and the listed components.

I’d choose 5800x3d even though the 3D cache hasn’t improved much in CS:GO, but you still get a better generation IPC boost and more than two cores with four threads, which means you’ll notice a difference over 3600x. Just keep an eye on the GPU later.
