You can switch to the Radeon 5700X without upgrading your CPU. Your Ryzen 5 1600 should handle 1080p at 144Hz smoothly, and the new GPU will boost performance. Upgrading to the Ryzen 5 3600 isn’t necessary unless you need extra power for demanding tasks.

It will work fine. A 3600 is a solid upgrade if you have the budget. Boosting the 1600 might also help. The best choice depends on the games you play.

Yes, you'll sacrifice some performance with that older CPU. You can still purchase the 5700 XT, but it won't run at its best. I'd only recommend it if you intend to upgrade the CPU later. If not, think about the 5700, the new 5500, or a GTX 1660 Super. PS: at 1080p resolution, the 5700 XT is more than sufficient and may even be excessive.
