Question Am I bottlenecking anything ?

[killcount001]

hello, so i recently went to micro center to build my first pc but i am not as knowledgable as i used to be and used the help of the employee a lot, but as i built it and am getting back into stuff, im worried i may have a poor board choice for my pc, im gonna list my parts if there is anything limiting or that i should change. Please let me know because i want to make sure its a solid build with expandability and stuff for the future.

CPU: ryzen 5 5600
GPU" msi 3060
Board: gigabyte B450M DS3H WIFI-CF (AM4)
Ram: dual channel 2x8 @ 3200 mz
power supply and case dont really matter

im mostly worried i cheaped out on the board, thanks.

Everything looks fine, I mean yeah that is a cheaper board, but its also not the worst out there, I probably wouldn't expect a Ryzen 9 5950x to run at full load 24/7 on it without a fan or some sort of air moving around the vrm area, But an 5800x or a 5900x should run on that board without any issues, the 5600 you got wont have any problems on it.

Yeh I'd be surprised if anything is bottlenecked. You could get more from the CPU with a 3060Ti at least but I wouldn't really call that a bottleneck. The board isn't a bottleneck but obviously if you wanted to upgrade you would likely be needing AM5 anyway

alright, thanks

It's a lower end board but it should be fine. 3060 would only bottleneck very slow cpus. The games you play and resolutions used will matter as well.
