Ryzen 3 2200G Bottleneck

[TheGRz]

I'm about to build my second Ryzen 3 2200G PC. This time I want it better.

Specs
B450 Aorus M Mobo
Hyper X 2666Mhz 2x4GB Ram
WD Green 240GB SSD
Corsair CX450 PSU
Coolermaster Q300L Case

Here is the first things i want to purchase. As of now my budget won't allow me to buy a GPU. But after a few months I'll definitely get one. I have 2 GPUs in mind which is almost similar in pricing now.

Nvidea GTX1060 3GB or Radeon RX580 8GB

I know that RX580 8GB is better in performance than the GTX1060 3GB version. But will it bottleneck the CPU? Which one will run better with the CPU. I have seen RX580 bottlenecking Ryzen 3 1200 in many games.

Get the better one. Or the best price. They arent really going to bottleneck the gpu. Maybe in some strange scenario.

As CPUs, the 2200g and 1200 are basically the same, so I think 1200 performance will give you a fair idea what to expect.

The 580 has the advantage of more vram, in addition to better performance. So in theory you'd be able to run same games at higher settings even if you aren't getting the same framerate as someone with a faster CPU. Performance limitations will come from only having 4 cores/4 threads. So as long as you stay away from games requiring more you should be fine. If your plan is to play games which use more threads then you shouldn't be getting anything less than a Ryzen 5 of some kind.

Get faster ram. The Ryzen cpus work better with faster ram. (3000 or 3200)

According to testing by bitwit, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFRXzR8D8kw gpu gains fall off after the 1060. Keep in mind that gtx cards have better driver support than 580. It really depends on which games you play, but for the most part the gtx 1060 comes out on top.
