So my question is, would I get more benefit out of upgrading my CPU to a Ryzen 5 3600, or upgrading my graphics card to a RTX 2060? I don't have the money to spend on getting a new motherboard to use the Ryzen 5 5600X, and from what I can tell, it seems as if the Radeon 6600 GPU's are about the same performance wise as the RTX 2060. My budget is about 600 dollars.
