I’m checking if the 5 3600 offers solid value for a premium build. It’s known to deliver strong performance and good returns.

You're asking about its intended purpose. It's a solid CPU, but its suitability depends on the specific requirements of your project without knowing more details.

In contrast to an R9 3900X, it matches a damp cat poop placed inside the socket. It hinges on your project needs and spending limits. For heavy Flight Simulator use with a 3090, upgrading to a faster CPU might be wise. For casual gaming on an older GTX 970, the 3600 should suffice.

In my situation it would be a better upgrade than my Intel i5-4670. It would add two more cores, faster clock speeds, and a slightly improved integrated graphics. But does it really mean more performance per clock? Probably not noticeable enough.

It won't be hard to find a better option for $175. Yes, it does seem quite capable.

Beyond core count, clock speed, and integrated GPU, factors like IPC, cache design, memory controller, and FPU matter. The 3600 lacks an integrated GPU. What kind of workload are you using it for?

Consider waiting about ten days to evaluate the capabilities of the new Ryzen processors. Then reassess. If they meet your needs, purchase one. Otherwise, check if the existing models become more affordable.

Seems like you're referring to a different processor. Let me know if you'd like me to help with anything else!
