CPU/Mobo Worthwhile upgrade from AMD 2600 to 3600?

Nope, save up and get the 5800x3d.
I doubt his existing mobo would be able to fully utilize that 5800x3d.

Atleast get the 5600 (non x), goes for 10_11 k on sale ,so around 7_8k for second hand if budget is tight
This is definitely a good option but unless the buyer can confirm pins of processor are not bent/damaged before reaching them there is risk.

5600GT is available at 8.8k from flipkart
Also the 5500gt went for 7.6k a of couple days back. Flipkart offers stack up in early morning hours
Integrated graphics processors comes with reduced pcie lanes so not recommended for someone who use use their pc with a graphics card.

Is it a worthwhile ugprade to go from a AMD 2600 to 3600? GPU is a 6650 XT
Yes it definitely is considering above points & assuming you are using typical low mid range mobo which you should aim to upgrade too in coming bbd/gis sale but if you can wait/afford then better switch the entire system & direct upgrade to AM5 platform with ddr5 in those sale/next year.
