On the AM4 platform, any graphics via the motherboard connectors are 
only on supported CPUs.  The 3600 does emphatically not have integrated 
graphics.  Though it's a really good CPU for general use.

The PSU is probably overkill, ~600W is generally enough these days, but 
supply issues may be a problem.  Unless you plan on moving to a top end 
GPU you probably don't need more than 600-650W

Depending on what you're coming from, it will be a massive change. Even 
my old i7-4790K to an r5-3600 is a massive bump.  Currently running an 
r9-3950X
