As the title says, new to the PC gaming scene, is there gonna be a bottleneck with this CPU GPU match? Or am I good?
Thanks

Well, in this case I would say yes, there might be some bottlenecking, but it should be unnoticeable, which includes anywhere in the 0-10 percentile. This combination could experience anywhere between there, but I highly doubt you will see anything higher than 10%, maybe even 5%, so I do not see a compatibility issue.

I have the 2600x + MSI 1050Ti OCT and I have to say the CPU is a fair bit more powerful than the GPU, to say the least.

If you have the budget and the need for better fps/image quality, I'd say dropping to the non-x CPU and going for a higher tier GPU would be the better choice.
 
You have a $200 cpu and a $200 graphics card.
That is OK.
But, a balanced gamer will spend more like twice the budget on the graphics card compared to the cpu.
A combined $400 budget for instance might divide it up into a a $250 GTX1060
and a $150 processor like a i3-8300 or a ryzen 1500x.

If your games are fast action shooters, favor the stronger graphics card.
OTOH, if your games are sims, mmo, or strategy games, favor higher clock rates and 4 threads is sufficient.
 
I've just finished building my first rig ever. I've ryzen 2600x with gtx 1060 3gt. In my opinion, you should go for 1060 as it is about 80% more powerful than 1050ti though 1060 3gb cost around $250 and 1050ti around $200, so 1060 is the vfm option. There is hardly any game today that needs more than 3gb vram so you are good with 1060 3gb instead of 6gb version.
 


you would be much better off getting an i3 8100 with a b360 mobo and using the money to get a better gpu
 


I would get a 1060 instead but with my current pc part picker build I'm really at the end of my budget, plus 1050ti seems to be a good start point that handle games well, I can upgrade later down the line

 


Actually you can save some money by getting the 2600 instead of the 2600x. They both perform around the same when OCed, so other than the stock clocks(which are kept unlocked to be pushed, by AMD anyways), there aint much that you gain with the "x" version. The money you save can go towards a better card. There is around 30 bucks there that you can reassign.
 


What video card could I move to with an extra 30?
