Probably a 3600, nothing too fancy. But in terms of RAM I'm doubling both speed and capacity with the upgrade to DDR4, so yeah.

Coming from a FX 8350 which bottlenecks certain CPU-heavy modern games' framerates in the mid 40s, that should be a interesting jump.

While a 3600 is a solid upgrade from the 8350, isn't it a bit small to mate him with an hugh-end X570 mobo? Sounds like a bit of an overkill to me. However, if you're just gaming and not doing anything else with it then the 3600 is the best choice in terms of value hands down. Otherwise, I would rather choose an 3700X, which has a bit more oomph to it and more future-proof with his 8c/16t for not too much more money.

Would be funny if that mobo would be paired with an 1600, as these can be found for less than 100$ these days and comes now even in 12nm like the 2600 as opposed to 14nm like it originally did.
