Easy option, bios update, and a 3700x drop in upgrade, and then a faster GPU, if your PSU is of sufficient quality and wattage.

for the cpu is it more worth to get the 3700x with the 8 cores or should I go down to 6 cores with like the 3600x would it make the price difference worth it? also my psu is something like a 1000 watt gold standard.

I would do 3700x, if you are wanting to keep running this for a few more years. FYI, you may get a Ryzen 5000 bios update, as AMD is going to release support for 300 series chipsets soon. Then I would consider the upcoming R7 5700x.
