I'm still holding out on getting a new GPU, even tho I have a new PC with i7-12700, but an old GPU. 40xx series and RDNA3 should be out by early winter.
Would I be critically bottlenecked at the Nvidia 3070 level by my Ryzen 3600?
Yes, if you want high FPS. Like you will lose at least 25% if you want to play CS:GO at 1440p. If you want to play games at normal FPS (around ~100), then not really.
What would you recommend to go with a 3600? I'm using an RX580 at the moment, which is pretty good tbf, but which can't really keep up with the most modern games.
There is no GPU that "goes" with 3600. You should just know that buying a good GPU with Ryzen 3600 means that you are leaving lots of performance on the table when it comes to (high-FPS) games that aren't demanding on the GPU and some (around 10%) performance on the table when it comes to new, demanding games.
The good thing about Ryzen is that you can almost certainly (depending on the motherboard) upgrade to 5800X3D later and that CPU won't bottleneck even an RTX3090.
I'd say go for 3060 Ti now, or wait for the 40xx series. Combination of cryptocrash and new GPUs should be great for the market, I hope!
