No it won't, but I am against 6c/6th CPUs, as games already demand more than 6 threads and I can see your system stuttering in one year or so. Go with ryzen. A ryzen 5 3600 should do the job for you. Except you already have the motherboard for the intel CPU. Then I recommend that you go with a 9700k, but if you care about cost, then the 9900k is also an option. What is your budget? Do you already have some parts or this is a complete cpu/ram/mobo upgrade?Will a core i5 9600k bottleneck with a gtx 1660
There is the issue of 6C/6T i5 seeing 100% usage in CPU intensive games like Battlefield V multiplayer. It's not bad though, at least not yet. It's only bad if you are very particular about framerate and GPU usage. You won't notice it unless you are watching those specs. A couple of years from now, there's not telling. It could be worse, but if you still have the same GPU it shouldn't be bad.No it won't, but I am against 6c/6th CPUs, as games already demand more than 6 threads and I can see your system stuttering in one year or so.

That's true, but if the OP doesn't already have a z390 motherboard, then they should go with ryzen, they offer so much better performance for money right now. However, it's their choice and the 9600k will do great with their GPU for now.There is the issue of 6C/6T i5 seeing 100% usage in CPU intensive games like Battlefield V multiplayer.

I believe that. The OP is asking about it 9600k, which is a 6 core processor. The 1300x was definately bottlenecking the Vega 64 by around 40% based in the calculator. Even comparing 1800x to 9600k, the landslide advantage goes to the 9600k in pure single core speed. Just newer tech.Multiplayer games like BFV with 64 players need at least 6 cores preferably 8 to work. I upgraded from 1300X to 1800X only because BFV 64 player was stuttering with a Vega 64 at 1080p, CPU usage was 100% on all cores.
After installing the 1800X everything was smooth and core usage dropped to under 60%.

Do you have some links to good reviews I could check over? Im always interested to learn more. The higher tiered processors ARE better, no question. But even in most reviews they are comparing all these CPUs when paired with very high end cards. I dont see the 1% lows being a factor on a low or mid tier card. The OP asked specifically if the 9600k would be a bottleneck when paired with a 1660. In my experience, the answer is a solid no.No one really cares (or at least, they should not) about 'bottleneck numbers/calculators'...
Additionally, I'm not overly concerned with 100% CPU utilization...there is no magic CPU/GPU utilization ratio to be maintained.
What IS concerning for the 9600K is that in many games is it's minimum FPS numbers in the 1%/.1% lows, which, in thread starved scenarios leads to frame rates dropping precariously below 60 FPS which might not happen with an 8 core cpu or even a 6c/12t design.... The 9600K often has good average FPS, but, sometimes dismal .1% lows, leading to a stutter. (Not everyone has this issue, depending on GPU, res, detail settings, background apps/processes, etc...) But, in my opinion, I'd gladly sacrifice some average and peak FPS for a higher .1%/1% minimum FPS...
