Hi all,
Looking to query a system by people with more experience than myself.
Based on my knowledge, I think it's probable that this system is going to face bottlenecking, but I'm not 100,000% sure.
This is the current system:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/yCWJjH
The owner is looking to upgrade to a 4060, or a 3060 + 16GB of RAM (though the RAM isn't really a concern here)
Some of the potential concerns I've noted so far are...
1) System board is PCI-E 3.0 while 3060/4060 are PCI-E 4.0 (though I believe they can function on 3.0 it's a potential bottlenecking point)
2) CPU is pretty weak and could bog the GPU down if it can't keep up with it(?)
PSU could potentially need upgrading maybe but based on the estimate PCPP is giving it potentially not necessary at all either.
At the point of needing a GPU, CPU, Mobo, and memory upgrade, he's probably better off just buying a new system altogether realistically speaking lol.
Any questions, say the word, appreciate your thoughts and info!
