So my current gaming rig is currently 6 years old and it is time for an upgrade, just wondering what sort of GPU/CPU combo I should be looking at?
At the moment I am thinking of going with a RTX 2060 Super for the graphics card as from what I can see it is more than enough to run current games at 1080p 60FPS and I am not ready to make the jump to 4K just yet. I know that when it comes to the CPU I definitely do not want to skimp and get an underpowered CPU for the build but I am just wondering how careful I need to be in making sure the CPU is not too powerful for my GPU?
At the moment I am thinking about the Ryzen 7 3700X which might be a little overkill for the GPU I am getting, but at the same time I use my computer for things other than gaming and would not mind the extra processing power for doing extra tasks in the background, besides the working theory I am going with is that it will allow me a little room to upgrade my graphics card in the future without needing to worry about switching out the CPU, I do not plan to overclock and one of the major games I am looking out for in the future (and one of the main reasons I am upgrading) is Cyberpunk 2070. I do not plan on overclocking
I have built a PC before but admittedly my knowledge of building PC's is much more limited than others who may do this sort of thing more regularly so forgive me if I am making fatal mistakes in my build and reasoning, just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction and give some advice.
Are there any reasons that one would not want to create a GPU bottleneck in their computer such as increasing the stress on certain parts? Or is the only downside to bottlenecking that you wont be able to unlock the true potential of the part that is being bottlenecked?
