Recently I have slowly been looking at upgrading parts of my PC. One of these components is my CPU, which is currently a Ryzen 1300x. As a result I've been considering to upgrade to the Ryzen 5 3600x, but I am unsure whether this might cause issues with my current B350 Tomahawk Motherboard.

Would anyone happen to know if this would cause any problems?

It can. You need to update the BIOS to the latest FIRST. You should also follow any other requirements, like driver updates listed on the BIOS update page.
