Are you trying to go for a better gaming rig?

If the CPU isn't damaged then don't replace it. That's absolutely considered a higher end processor and if you aren't experiencing any CPU throttling when gaming then don't blow money for no reason.
Now, if you wanted to add a little more oomph to your system you could always try to snag one of the 30 Ti series NVIDIA cards. If your current GPU is just a plain old 2060 you shouldn't have any problems playing games on decent settings, just not on ultra.

I have a Ventus RTX 2060 and just recently was able to order a 3060 only 50 bucks above msrp. It was through EVGA's notification that I had to sign up for though, so I'm not sure how many people actually got cards.
Just saw that Michigan's micro center is stocked full of gpus.

I have the same setup, Ryzen 5 3600 (OC to 4.2) and RTX 2060 6GB, it is very good setup for 1080p gaming, if I ever buy a 4k monitor I would upgrade my GPU first because I think this CPU can handle it well.
I upgraded to this from Ryzen 5 2400G and RX 580 and it is a huge difference.

what card would you update to, then what cpu would you use to go with it? (is the one we currently have good enough to run newer gpu)

Right now 3080 sounds like a good upgrade but hearing the news about upcoming cards, new amd generation sounds good on paper, I wont upgrade any time soon but when I do I will get the latest generation for sure.
As I said I had an Ryzen 5 2400G which I believe was also good enough paired with an RTX 2060 but I went for the Ryzen 5 3600 because of the few extra threads for my non gaming stuff and I do run servers alongside games often.
I'm sure our CPU will be fine for a couple of years at least, I'm not an expert but 6 cores should be more than enough for gaming, also mine is overclocked slightly to keep 4.2 ghz all core instead of having PBO enabled and having it jump around 4.1-4.15, might not be a huge difference in performance but I noticed voltage was jumping a lot with it so I prefer to have a set voltage over that. If you want more details let me know, I dont know it from my head and you might not be interested in oc stuff.

I have been trying to get a 3080 FE since release but no luck everyone wants one, with the scalper prices being higher then 3090 FE prices or to close to 3090 prices I just opted to get a 3090 FE at MSRP from bestbuy as not alot of people want it and the 3090 stock seems to be good. I'm running a ryzen 7 3800x and it seems to be fine running everything on highest settings.

CPU you're using is high end, I have the same one myself and not a single bottleneck issue happening, I'd say wait till it gives up and then just go with the next Ryzen CPU you like.

Ryzen 7 5800X + RTX 3080. If you aren't willing to fork over that much money for upgrades, probably best you just wait.

Yes, the RX 6800XT and RX 6900XT are both highly competitive with RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 respectively.
