I noticed that ryzen 3600 is overheating. My cpu, while gaming, is running with pbo enabled at 4.0-4.1 ghz at around 80-85 °C and in stress test it tops at 90-93 °C.
Can you recommend a good cooler for ryzen?
I was looking at :
scythe ninja 5 at 47€
be quiet dark rock 4 pro : 75€
noctua nh d15: 90€ (maybe a bit overpriced)

PC build:
Cpu: ryzen 3600 (for now...planed to change in the next year)
mb: msi b450 tomahawk max
tower: be quiet pure base 500

As long as any of those 3 can be installed inside your case and onto you motherboard you should be fine. The Noctua NH-D15 and the Deepcool Assassin III could handle the Ryzen 9 3950X without issues (as long as you have good airflow inside your case). The DR4Pro its also a very capable air cooler so it should handle the big Ryzens pretty well too.

As someone said already the big coolers should be fine for upgrading later, since any decent $50 air coolers (like the ones mention) will be more than enough for the R5 3600, even with a small OC, or in your case PBO enable.
For the 3600 a 50 $ air cooler like the Scythe Ninja, Arctic Esports Duo 34 etc. is doing fine. But as you already mention you might upgrade in the future and air coolers can last for decades I personally would say "go big or go home", if you got the cash and room in your case.
Dark Rock 4 Pro, Noctua D15 or Deepcool Assassin?
 
I am not overclocking this is the stock setup with default settings in motherboard. deepcool Assassin is at 110€ right now and the black noctua is 120€. So i guess i ll go with the dark rock 4 pro?

I just put a Noctua NH-U12A on my fiance's desktop. It reduced the temps on her 3600X by about 10 degrees on stress test. It sounds like you have some potential airflow problems too. Noctua has a catalog on their site by CPU and then by motherboard and even case. Just because of that and it's accuracy and ease of mounting- they became my go to. https://noctua.at/en/support/compatibility-lists/mainboard
