With third gen Ryzen there is little to be gained from an overclock, the chips are running pretty close to their maximum all core speed by default. At best you might be able to eke out another 100-200MHz over the all core turbo clock. I think the 3600x already runs somewhere between 4.1 and 4.2GHz on all cores out of the box. You probably could achieve 4.2GHz on the stock cooler because it really isn't much of an overclock.
The plain 3600 offers better value though, it's $50 cheaper and the only difference is a very slightly slower clock speed and a slighter weaker cooler.
