Not really risky, the R5-3600 is a decent performer and noticeably
faster depending on what you're coming from... I had used an R6-3600 as
a placeholder for a system while waiting for a 3950X and it was
significantly faster than my older I7-4790K at that point.
If you're thinking of something higher, an R5-5600 is roughly equal to
an R7-3700x in performance, so depending on price, you may be better
with current gen. I would suggest getting an X570 series motherboard
regardless, as the chipset and compatibility has improved a lot.
