Question r5 3600 rtx 2060 vs i5 9600k with 1660ti?

Seems irrelevant but need suggestion!

It's not really irrelevant.
9600k looks expensive for what it offers at 6 cores/6 threads and doesn't come with a cooler, whereas the 3600 gets you 6 cores/12 threads and does come with a cooler.

My first suggestion would be the R5 3600 with an RX 5700 instead of that outdated, and now end of life, 2060.

is the stock cooler good enough? or buying new cooler will be a good option? won't overclock.

The AMD stock cooler is fine with it:

^Given, that's a 3900X. It's going to run quite a bit warmer having 6 cores/12 threads more.

Only real reason to change the stock cooler on 3600 is lower operating noise. The box cooler can get up to 30 dBA.
