Hello, It's me again.
I am currently preparing to purchase an upgrade package (CPU, Motherboard, RAM)
My current rig is apparently severely Bottlenecked as I have:

CPU: AMD FX 6300 Vishera 6 -Core CPU Black Edition
GPU: GTX 1060 6gb GPU
RAM: 8GB RAM
I experience severe frame drops and screen freezing
CPU and GPU are nowhere near the 50% usage mark
so I just said Screw it, I'll upgrade.
So what I have decided to order is

CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 CPU
MOBO:: MSI B450M GAMING PLUS AM4 Motherboard (mATX Form Factor)
RAM: 16gb of CORSAIR Vengeance LPX DDR4 2133

Now my real question is:
Will the GTX 1060 6gb bottleneck the Ryzen 5 2600?
Which Ryzen CPU is more suited to handle the GTX 1060 6gb?
 
Solution
The 2600 is good, and more than enough for the GTX 1060. One issue I do see in your upgrade list is the ram. With Ryzen you want faster ram, get atleast DDR4 3000, 3200 would be better.
