I currently have a ryzen 1500x running with a 120gb ssd, 1tb hd, 700 watt psu, asrock 350 mb, 3000 8gb ram , and a rx580. I am looking at the ryzen 2600, 2600x, or the new ryzen 5 that dropped today. Thinking about this mb

Which cpu would be best for system?

This depends what you're using the PC for?
What kind of PSU is that(be more specific, please)?

Ryzen 2600"$154" and 2600X "$178" are virtually the same chip except the X is factory overclocked. A 3600 "$199" is a better value over a 2600X even with much slower RAM than what I see benchmarked. Updating your BIOS should give you more headroom for overclocking now so hitting 3200 or 3333mhz should be possible with any CPU you pick.
