I'm planning to upgrade my computer soon.
I've decided to use Ryzen 3 1200 and it said ram supported up to 2667mhz (Ryzen 3 1200). Most AM4 motherboard can support up to 3200mhz.

So should i get 2667mhz or 3200mhz? Are there any difference/effect on performance if i get 3200mhz (while Ryzen 3 1200 only support up to 2667)?

For the gpu i'll go with either 1050ti or 1060 3GB. Will 1060 bottleneck my cpu?

You can decide if 3200 is needed or not.
Ryzen 1200 can support 3200 speed, mostly determined by motherboard. Buy from motherboard QVL list is a safe bet, but G.Skill ripsaw/trident Z has samsung b-die, which makes it more likely to run 3200.

Both GPUs are fine, just need appropriate settings to run without bottleneck.

BTW, 1300X is on sale on Amazon, you may want to check it out.
