Is Bottleneck for games only?

[russelman]

I am starting to build my pc, my specs are:

armaggeddon vulcan
amd ryzen3
MSI B350 mortar
Avexir 8gb
AEROCOOL STRIKE-X 500W
MSI GTX 1050ti Gaming X
kingston 120gb ssd

But I have a problem with the GPU, I still can't afford it cause it cost too much.
I was told that my build will not work without a GPU because ryzen 3 1200 does not have integrated graphics. So I asked my friends for some old card for me to borrow and they gave me a GT 9500.
So the question is, if I am just going to use it for just typing, browsing, but not gaming, will the "Bottleneck" apply on these activities too?

No. A bottleneck can show itself in things other than games, but a ryzen cpu and pretty much any gpu that will fit in your motherboard would be plenty for doing tasks such as browsing the internet.

The "bottleneck" is that thing in your PC that prevents other things from performing as well as they can. If you had the i7-8700m 16GBs of ram, and the 1080TI all hooked up to a 1366x768 monitor, the monitor is the bottleneck. Because it's a 60Hz 768 monitor, it will prevent the CPU and GPU from performing as well as they can.

Your entire build is a bit off for a gaming build. Your CPU is good, your ram is ok, your GPU is a bit weak, and your PSU is avoid at all costs. You really need to make some changes if this is for a gaming build. For just browsing and watching things the 9500 will do just fine. Even IGP will work for that. But your build overall needs a lot of work.

If you haven't bought this yet then change the psu ASAP. It's a low end unit that has a high chance to kill your pc.
