Will a ryzen 1400 bottleneck a 1050TI? Will i get a good performance with it? I will run all games on 900p.

1060 is too expensive in my country, i cant get it right now.

Solution
yes and no.
There will be games that a GTX1050Ti can achieve higher frame rates with a better CPU, and there will be games it won't matter.

I guarantee the simple answer of "there will be no bottleneck" is wrong, especially at 900p, and also for some really demanding games like AotS, a recent Warhammer game and others where it's not just about the draw calls sent to the GPU, but battle calculations etc that really task the CPU hard.

*However, I did several budget builds and the R5-1400 + GTX1050Ti was an excellent choice. Getting a cheaper CPU like a G4600 for example could put money towards other parts but suffered in games that needed more CPU threads (like MMO's) and also the AM4 platform probably will be upgradeable to an 8-core...

You should OVERCLOCK the R5-1400 as best you can.

You should also use a 2x4GB, or 2x8GB 3000MHz or 3200MHz DDR4 kit setup in Dual Channel.... I did an EXAMPLE BUILD of that->

Solution
BTW, my build last year was similar to an R5-1400 + GTX1050Ti (i7-3770K OC'd + GTX680) and I ran almost every game including Crysis 3 quite well.

Tweaking the games was critical to the best experience, but in general I played 1080p@60Hz, and some at 2560x1440.

I used Adaptive VSYNC for some games (NCP-> manage 3d settings-> ... add game->... ) to run some games at 60FPS about 95% of the time based on my tweaking. Some of the Assassin's Creed games for example worked best like that as they would STUTTER badly if I had VSYNC ON and dropped below 60FPS on a 60Hz monitor, but turning off VSYNC produced horrible screen tear.

So yes, that PC can run most games nicely.
 


There is will always be that one or two odd game that will never run optimal on any hardware. Also depends on what your definition of bottleneck is. Usually it is when one part has more potential and the other part is limiting its potential. There is always a bottleneck somewhere. But as far as that particular combination goes, it does compliment each other fine. My colleague has built a pc with those two exact parts and it can handle any game you throw at it with a few tweaks here and there. Ofcourse OCing the 1400 will help get even more performance but even at stock it runs on pretty good playable framerates.
