Is my CPU/GPU combo unbalanced l?

[parthesh152]

Ok so I’m doing a PC build around $1100. I’m going to be using it mostly for video editing/rendering and music production and a little casual gaming. Right now I’m thinking of a Ryzen 7 2700x & GTX 1050 ti cpu/gpu combination. Do you feel the cpu is too overpowered and will be bottlenecked or would work well. Btw gaming wise, solid quality 1080p gaming at 50+ frames is fine with me.

Seems fine to me , in light of 60 Hz 1080P gaming objectives...

If this was a gaming focused build I would say the gpu is going to hold back your cpu a decent bit in games but since this is a workstation first gaming second system and the expectations aren't too high I would say it's fine.

I'd be looki,g at a 2600x & a 1060 6gb or rx 580 personally.

I reckon that's a better general combo.

The 2600x is still plenty powerful enough for productivity .
