Hi, can you advice if this build is decentPNY is decent and has been around. Not sure about the warranty on that particular card, but it should be fine as they have been making components like graphics cards, ssd drives and ram for a while.
Would a Ryzen 5 3600 bottleneck an RTX 3070?
I am planning on possibly getting an RTX 3070 (if i even can lol) and I was wondering if my Ryzen 5 3600 would be bottlenecking my FPS in games when playing with the 3070. Thanks!linustechtips.com
Good read here. Sounds like at 1080p 60hz you may have some, but if you up resolution or go higher refresh rate then you may not need to worry as much.
According to one video I saw the 3600 held back a 3090 a bit at 1080p, but there again switch to 1440p and you may not notice as much. And when it did hold some titles back they usually still had pretty decent FPS. But obviously with say a 5600x or 5900x you wouldn’t have to worry as much.
I'm not quite sure. But it states that it is a FSP 800w HYDRO PRO 80Plus Bronze Certified PSUI’ve got a ryzen 5 3600. Not the fastest now but still good. Just make sure that the board says it supports that cpu out of the box, though it should.
What make/model is the power supply? Otherwise seems fine to me. You may want to add a hard drive or second ssd later for extra storage.
Yup it is a 2x8GBAs above what is the make and model of the psu?
Also just checking the RAM is 2x8gb and not 1x16gb?
There will always be a slightly newer cpu that will give a few more FPS in games. I would not say a 3600 is going to hold back that gpu “a lot”. I’m running a 3700x and 3080 for 1440p/4K and it’s a brilliant combination, I’d expect a 3600 and 3060 to be a great combination for 1080p.
Would a 5600x give more FPS? Yes. Is it enough to transform game play or even notice? No
But is it enough to transform game play or even notice?I mean I wouldn't call a 15-35% performance gain in gaming when comparing the 3600 to the 5600X insignificant. In some games that will be the difference between achieving 144 fps and not.

It’s best to link the specific article but it wasn’t too hard to find, here for anyone interested https://www.techspot.com/review/2135-amd-ryzen-5600x/
That review is designed to maximise any differences between CPU’s, it uses a 3090 for 1080p. This is not a common or even recommended configuration, it’s purely for testing as doesn’t represent an average setup. As you go down gpu levels the differences between CPU’s will reduce, the gpu becomes less able to utilise the extra performance the cpu has to offer. There is nothing wrong with running a 3600 with a 3060, as I said earlier a 5600x would push more FPS but it’s not going to be anywhere near the difference when using a 3090 @ 1080p.
