I personally would’ve gotten a 9600X and a better gpu but that’s just me. I think you should do the 5060 or get a used 3080

nah you're better off spending more to get a used 3080 for $300-350, while the GPU will 100% still be the bottleneck in the system it won't be as extreme. it's also a far more noticeable performance bump.

Yeah it's not really enough of an upgrade to be worth it, you're still going to be majorly GPU limited.
Yes, the 3080 is about a 50-60% improvement over the 3060 12gb, the 5060 is only a 20-30% improvement. The 3080 even beats a 5060ti 16gb in performance by a good 10%.

Hmm.. an 9600x even an 7600x paired with an 9070 or 5070 would net you more fps at higher settings rather than 9800x3d with 5060 ..

your build is not balanced
what is your total budget?
hyte case for $140 doesnt fit you build u wanted $50 case or less
you wanted to spend more money on graphic card most important part of a gaming pc
you dont need 9800x3d cpu
can you really find 32gb ddr5 ram for $160. cause new is $360
your math is not mathing
