Overall best bang-for-the-buck? Debatable of course. The $85 Ryzen 5 1600 AF "refresh" (which I think should have been named the Ryzen 5 2550) is an awful lot of bang-for-the-buck. LINK [amazon.com]
Note Microcenter In-Store-Only has this CPU for $170 and $20 off a compatible motherboard. LINK [microcenter.com]

Same recommendation. The refresh really is a different chip, as seen by two distinct peaks at userbenchmark. The best 1600 benchmark score is a little better than the worst 3600 benchmark.
The 3600 is clearly better, but if your budget is tight you cold get the 1600af and spend a little more on your mobo. Then you could upgrade to a higher end zen2 chip in the future.
$169.99 at Micro Center. Plus $20 off when bundled with eligible motherboard. Includes XBOX Game Pass Offer.

If you are going to drop $1,000 on a graphics card, why not spend another $100 or so on the CPU and future proof it a little more? For gaming today, you won't see any benefit between this and the the 3700x or 3800x. However, if you do any video encoding or something that takes advantages of the extra cores, it's worth it if you have the money. Future games may take advantages of more cores as well.
As with any CPU/motherboard combo, if you're near a microcenter, they're almost always cheaper.
