Does this a good update for my setup , or do I have to buy new MB?

However...What you lose with B450 is PCIe 4.0. This will constrain your next-gen GPU upgrade in the future a little. 4.0x8 GPUs may see some (<10%) FPS loss on the B450. You may be locked out of DirectStorage in W11 later on.
But it is also worth mentioning that the 5800X3D is a monster of a CPU for Gaming. Possibly overkill for you considering the spend and the B450 limitation. If you have a Microcenter near, their $300/$350 Intel combos will get you a whole lot more in the future for your money.

I have Vengeance 3200 16Gb memory.
Do you think this
Micro Center AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Stealth Cooler Bundle with B550M PRO-VDH WiFi ProSeries Motherboard https://a.co/d/iK27WXc
Will be better option for future updates with RTX 4070 or maybe 3060 Ti?

If you buy the 5800x3d, apply some good thermal paste and put it in your system. That's it. The b450 is absolutely fine for the specs you have and the 5800x3d will make sure your 2060 is running at the max. It's the max cpu upgrade for the AM4 socket.
Im about to grab one to upgrade my ryzen 3600 + rtx 2070. I have an ancient b350 from 2017 and it will not hold back the new cpu. you're good.

6700XT is the value sweet spot right now in GPUs and will probably be for a while, if you want to spend a little more, you could do it all in one fell swoop and sell your old GPU too. but hey, thats the kind of logic that ended me up with a 12700K and RTX 4070 when my original budget was much less haha.

If I am between this cpu and the Ryzen 5 5600x , which one do you think will be better deal for future updates?
