3600 to 3950x (or beyond) - Worthwhile?

Probably been a multitude of threads elsewhere on this question but I'm looking to get the best performance realistically (without going TR) within a semi reasonable budget.

My system is multipurpose (gaming, Photoshop, Plex server with possible 4K conversion) so I was wondering if it was worth firstly upgrading to 3950x (will I see significant results) or waiting until 4950x and the gains that will bring over 3950x

I currently have an X570 Mobo with 32GB 3200 RAM and will shortly be upgrading to an RTX 3080.
 
Thanks for the advice.

Yeah, it's not urgent. I'll hold off as I'm already outlaying a decent portion of any upgrade budget on the GPU.
