What does the 3700X offer that the 3600/X doesn't? What, the extra 2 cores and 4 threads?
Geez, only a few games started hitting 8 threads - it doesn't progress THAT fast.

3700X is one of Ryzen 3000's worst cpu offerings. It tries to be a middleman, but fails HARD. It's not worth the price premium.
-Gaming? 3700X is less than 5% faster than 3600, and 3600X actually matches it. Both are significantly cheaper. Get one of the other 2 and either save your money, or put it towards a better cooler, or additional storage.

-Multitasking? Some people are too quick to dismiss the 3600/X the MOMENT somebody mentions 'multitasking, streaming, editing, recording', etc...
The 3600/X can do all that just fine.
You can game...

So I won't have any bottlenecks between the two so no underperformance nothing

As long as you get dual channel, 3000mhz+ memory for the cpu, and aren't going to run higher than 1080p resolution for the gpu, then no.
