Am I bottlenecking if I use a Ryzen 5 1600 CPU with a 1060 EVGA (either 3gb or 6gb)?

I am a new computer builder. I already have a Ryzen 1600 CPU; I have a budget of around $250.

My question is If I use a 1060 EVGA GPU with my Ryzen 5 1600 will I have a bottleneck? I could use a 980ti, but it is around 350(I think) which is 100 dollars over my budget. If using a 1060 EVGA is bottlenecking, could you recommend a better GPU that is around 250-300 dollars?

Thank you in advanced!
(if anyone ever looks at this)

This will work just fine you are using the full performance of the card... Don't worry no bottlenecks...

It's not a matter of your CPU being part of the equation really - it's your monitor.

If you're running 1920x1080 @ 60Hz then the 1060 6GB would be sufficient.

If you are running higher resolutions, or running the same resolution with a monitor that had a higher refresh (thus you'd need FPS output to be at least that amount), then the 1060 would not be up to the task.

Thank You! I forgot to put in my post that I have a 1920x1080 monitor. It runs at 59Hz. So I will get the EVGA 1060 6gbs.
