Bottle neck doubt

[white5011]

So here is my problem:
I have an i3 6100 and a r9 390, obviously there's bottleneck but here is where my question comes: if i have bottleneck during 2-3 months while i buy a new cpu, am i damaging my components with the bottleneck?

no

No, bottleneck don't affect at all the integrity of any of the hardware.

You can rest easy.

It is not at all obvious to me that you have a "bottleneck"

If, by that, you mean that upgrading a cpu or graphics card can
somehow lower your performance or FPS.
A better term might be limiting factor.
That is where adding more cpu or gpu becomes increasingly
less effective.

I think you have a well balanced system.
If you want better performance, take the time to verify if cpu or gpu is the best upgrade.

Some games are graphics limited like fast action shooters.
Others are cpu core speed limited like strategy, sims, and mmo.
Multiplayer with many participants tend to like many threads.

You need to find out which.
------------------------------------------------------------
To help clarify your CPU/GPU options, run these two tests:

a) Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.

b) Limit your cpu, either by reducing the OC, or, in windows power management, limit the maximum cpu% to something like 70%.
Go to control panel/power options/change plan settings/change advanced power settings/processor power management/maximum processor state/
This will simulate what a lack of cpu power will do.
Conversely what a 30% improvement in core speed might do.

And... no damage can occur if one component is unusually strong.
