If you must get the Ryzen 5 3600 series, just the 3600 will suffice. You can overclock it instead of getting the 3600x.

I've heard R5 3600X coming with Wraith Spire cooler. If only difference RGB LED instead R5 3600's cooler, i could buy 3600.

Temps will vary depending on case cooling and climate as well so hopefully you have some intake & exhaust fans and reasonably cool room to help.

If want to overclock, consider an aftermarket cooler like the Noctua D15 or Dark Rock Pro 4 if your case can accommodate.

You'll enjoy the 3600 or 3600x more than the 9600K, that's for sure. 6 core cpus just aren't cutting it anymore really.

I recommend fitting your rig with ram in dual channel between 3200~3600MHz for best performance. 2x 16GB would be ideal, setting you up now and into the future.
