Hi.

I have got my PC for 8 years and only upgrades I made since then is replacing GPU with GTX 1060 6GB and adding SSD Samsung EVO 850.

PC Spec:
GTX 1060 GAMING X 6GB
Msi H61mu-e35 1155 Matx
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12
2x Kingston ValueRAM memory - 4 GB - DIMM 240-pin - 1333 Mhz DDR3
Xfx Pro 450w Power Supply Unit (core Edition)
Intel Core i5 2300 / 2.8 GHz processor
1 x Cooler Master Centurion 5 II - mid tower

Now i want to replace cpu with Ryzen 5 3600 and motherboard with B450 Tomahawk and add Samsung 970 evo plus.

Questions:
1. Does my choice of components make sense?:)
1. What DDR4 would suit it the best?
2. TDP of current cpu is higher than Ryzen 5 3600. Does it mean i will be ok with current power supply?
3. Is it worth to spend extra money to get Ryzen 5 3600x or my GPU will bottleneck it?

I use it mainly for gaming and sometimes video editing (Da Vinci Resolve).

Thanks in advice,
Lukasz
