You can see that by loading up a game, disabling V-sync and all FPS limiters, and see where your GPU usage is. If it's 100%, it's not being held back.
I'm not suggesting to buy a 5800X3D now - but if you go for the 5600X combo, you will have the option to upgrade later.
I did this recently, though I did leave my 162 fps cap in place, since that is my real world usage way of playing games.
I was surprised to see only like 15-30% cpu usage and 96-99% gpu usage in a lot of games.
that would probably change if i went to a 7900 xtx over the 6800 xt though...
