I'd like to know if I should get this gpu with this cpu combo, I'm afraid there might be a bottleneck so, im a little bit skeptical on it, btw, I intend to play almost every game at 1920x1080 besides games like valorant or csgo where i play at 1280x960 or 1024x768.

i5 9400f 8x2 2666mhz and i want to buy rx 6600.

Bottleneck, horrible word, your CPU will limit that GPU potential yes at those lower resolutions. And even at 1080 in some games you will be limited to. How much?, Imposible to know, many competitive online games get updates very often so whats one thing today, could be different next week.

AAA games will be a bit different cause you may wana push graphic detail to high or very high to see the full beatiful effects on the screen.

The question is do you already own a GPU and want to upgrade to get more FPS?, if so which GPU do you currently have?

Whats your PSU brand and model ?, How old is it, more or less?

I have a gtx 1050ti i've had it since 2015 or 2016 not sure, and a seasonic focus gx-650Watts 80 plus gold that i have since late 2021.

And yes i would like to get more fps specially on battlefield V and etc, im getting around 100's 80ish fps on it which kinda sucks.

Adding a better part does not make performance decrease.

It is entirely possible, even likely, that adding a better GPU will mean, in the current misunderstood 'bottleneck' concept...a larger bottleneck.
It will also give better overall performance.


However...
The CPU is mostly in charge of the FPS.
The GPU is in charge of the eyecandy.

If you want more FPS, you need to change the CPU.

Do you think i should pick this gpu or a weaker one like a rtx 2060 or something else? btw ty for the help im completly lost in this even tho i've been in this pc stuff for years.

Why a weaker one?
To reduce the mythical bottleneck?

It doesn't work like that.

If you were to add in a RTX 3090....OMG!! The bottleneck would be HUGE!!
But your performance increases a little bit more...😉

Leave that B word alone.
Buy the best GPU that fits in your budget.

Reuse it when you replace the rest of the system.

It's just that i heard about visual artifacts and all that so i kinda got scared about it, so ill get better performance with the rx 6600 and no visual artifacts or fps mess up from the fact that the cpu is a little slower than the gpu, now that reasures me, tysm

You get 80~100 FPS in BFV with a 1050ti?, at 1080p then you have to be playing at low graphic settings, right?

Considering the game you named, and the GPU, I would get a new GPU first, and then consider to upgrade the whole platform (CPU, Motherboard/RAM) later on, either to intel 13th gen or AMD 7xxx when they launch (or to intel 12th gen for the cheap if they still available when you do it).

The good thing about today is that you have Intel, AMD and Nvidia to pick great performance CPU and GPU, and thats something that was not happening a few years ago.

By any chance, can you recommend me some pc cases where this gpu can fit i have an msi b365m phantom gaming motherboard and my budget is 50€.

It don't fit in the case you have?

Anyhow impossible to answer since you never listed the exact RX6600 as they all vary most are not really long and should fit in most cases.
List the case you have and the exact video card.

with that combo... while playing csgo you might as well play on full settings@ 1080p
your likely to hit 300+ fps anyway, you will run out of

I was getting 180-220 @ 1080p high settings with a 6 @ 3.6Ghz core ivy bridge with ddr3 1866 and a fury x

It's just that i prefer playing black bars or stretched resolutions it's just a matter of preference.
