is the 5700x3d worth it over keeping my 3600

running a ryzen 5 3600 on a b450 board with a 6700 xt. mostly play cpu heavy stuff like strategy games and mmos at 1440p, and late game turns crawl. would the 5700x3d be a big jump or should I save for a whole new platform instead?

It's about the best upgrade you can do on AM4 without touching the board or RAM. Big difference in CPU heavy games and in smoothness generally, less so if you play at 4K where the GPU is doing all the work anyway. Update the BIOS while the 3600 is still in, before swapping. What GPU are you running? that decides how much you'll actually feel it.
