No, the Ryzen 5 3600 wouldn't cause a bottleneck with the RX 5700 XT.

The 3600X offers better value compared to the 2600X in many cases, with improvements under 10%. I’d opt for the 3600 and boost its settings, but I’ve picked the 2700 which delivers similar performance at a lower cost.
There seems to be an issue when your 2600x resolution struggles with the 2070 model at 1440p.
In fully CPU-intensive scenarios the improvement is near 15% faster with the 3600. However, for gaming you rarely hit 100% CPU usage, so the gain will be less noticeable and differ between titles. Around 10% is a reasonable estimate.
I discovered quite a bit, so I’m planning to just say it and install a 3950x on my B450 motherboard. Let’s pretend everything works fine.
