Storage and CPU are two good areas to invest into for sure! A build like this is great to demonstrate the importance of a good foundation. You have that in place so it’s nice and easy to slot in upgrades!
The gold standard CPU upgrade would be the 5800x, I wouldn’t recommend just jumping from the 3600 to the 5600x. To support the 5800x you will need quite a beefy cooler though as it tends to run quite hot, something like the H115i Elite Capellix would be the top end option, although obviously it depends how far your budget can stretch.
Storage wise, another HDD wouldn’t go amiss, and a 1TB m.2 drive for games is a bit of a luxury purchase but will give you much better load times compared to running games off a hard drive.
