Just wondering whether an upgrade from my current i7-4790 to the Ryzen 5 2600x is worth it? Should I just save up for the Ryzen 5 3600 instead? Thanks in advance

The 2600X is a great upgrade from the 4790, but I would recommend you go the Ryzen 5 3600. it's not that much more for way higher performance.

Save up.
You'd see improvements already with 2600x, but much more with 3600 + you'd get all the bells and whistles of the latest Ryzen generation, and more power efficient processor.
