I want to buy a used Rx 5700 xt from my friend, but my CPU seems to be too weak for 1080p. The problem is that I won't have money to buy a higher res monitor or a better CPU. I already decided that I will buy it no matter what. I just want someone to calm me down, and say that the bottleneck will be acceptable. The calculator showed 10.33% bottleneck, which ain't good but I don't have any other choice.

"Bottleneck calculators" are absolute garbage. Too many variables not taken into account.

Every system will have a 'bottleneck' somewhere, but whether it's noticeable or impactful is what matters.

A 9400F will pair just fine with a 5700XT at 1080p.
