I want to get a Ryzen 5 3600 for my build in June, but Ryzen 4000 might come out late summer. Should I wait or buy now? Also, AMD will stop supporting AM4 after this year, so should I wait till 2021 to get my PC?
Very true. Unless you have a reliable way to make sure parts are working on arrival, buying parts long ahead of time is a terrible idea, since you lose return protection by the time you actually build it, and may find something wrong.
In two to three years the GPU will probably be equally worsened. A 1070 Ti nowadays is about the same performance as a 1660 Ti, and most people don't have issues with pairing a 1660 Ti with a Ryzen 5 or even Ryzen 3 2nd or 1st gen.
Anyways the difference between 3700X and 3600 would probably make the 3700X obsolete in only a year or two more than the 3600. The IPC is the same, which is what most games depend on. IPC is what improves over generations.
It's quite possible. We've been stuck with intel 4c for a long time, and now with rising core counts, game devs may begin to utilize more. Then again, no one can reliably predict the future.I know the ryzen 5 3600 has had really good reviews and is doing fantastic right now. I just have a hunch that cpus with anything less than 8 cores are going to be bad for gaming sooner than we think.

I agree with half of this. DO wait for new hardware, but DON'T buy the new hardware immediately on release, buy the old hardware which would be significantly discounted.Never wait for computer things that might be. they may not ever appear.
Best bet is to get something that's been out for a few months or more and had the kinks worked out of it.
Tell ya what, I've been a new hardware adopter a couple times, and you're out there flying blind and solo.
It's a feeling of being alone.
Sorry I phrased my question wrong. What I meant to say is "Should I wait until Ryzen 4000 comes out to build my system, or should I just build it in June as planned?"why buy the parts now if your not building it until June?
