Question Bottleneck?

[lagwagon77]

I am considering a new system build, I am looking at the i5-9600K, an ASRock Z390 mobo, 16gb 2666 ram, and a 2060 video card. These parts are where I want to be price wise, but I am wondering if any parts bottleneck another. I understand the basic idea behind bottlenecks, and although I am not looking for technical info on what exactly it is, what I AM looking for is is my CPU limits my video card, or the other way around, or any other parts.

I don't play the most current AAA games generally, the games I play are usually 1-3 years old. I do play at 1080, MAYBE 1440 but probably just 1080. I am considering a 1070, or a different video card, but I don't wanna dump $200+ in to each my CPU and vid card and have either not fully perform because the other isn't that good. Please give me your input, I really appreciate it.

You are fine. It's a balanced system. The 2060 is stronger than the older 1070.

You play at what your monitor is. Chances are you have a 1080p monitor currently.

There the 9700K sits, just $150-$160 more, calling you, tempting you....taunting you!!!!

It’s a good setup but for a system that’s going to last I feel the Ryzen 2600 is a better choice and should cost no more.
