For what it's worth, these are the best value in CPUs and perform very well. These are usually sold out.
Think of them as the 1080 for AMD where they priced it low for what you get and it even spoils a lot of the higher chips.

So you think this CPU will be HUGE upgrade over my Ryzen 5 3600 for now and also continue using this CPU even with I upgrade everything?

For a budget conscious gamer, this chip is an EXCELLENT value.

I don't know personally about the performance difference between the 3600 and the 5800x3D, but zgradt mentioned in this thread that he upgraded his 3800x and was happy with the result.
You might not get a HUGE FPS boost in games right now, using the 5800x3D with a 2070 super. When the time comes and you upgrade your video card, then it will shine. All the FPS tests that show it performing well are inevitably using a really nice GPU that costs more than my first car. Here's a comparison that also uses a 6600xt for their testing. [techspot.com]
I upgrade like you seem to: every few years, I alternate buying a new CPU or GPU. I was thinking about getting a 5800x3D soon to replace my 1700x. It won't give me a big boost now with my 1660ti video card, but in a year or so when I upgrade my video card, it would make for a really solid 1080p, 144hz gaming rig. I don't think the CPU is going to drop much more though, so I was thinking I might go with the 5600x or 5700x instead.
