Ryzen 5 with gtx 1060 6gb

I brought ryzen 5 and gtx 1060 6gb ..is it a bad Combination?

Nope. Perfectly balanced for 1080p.

Very good combination but get fast RAM, 3000mhz or higher. What resolution and Hz will you be gaming at?

1) As said it's best to have high DDR4 bandwidth. Preferably at least 3000MHz CL15 in dual channel (two sticks not one). Also preferably 8GB though if budget is tight get 8GB now with two sticks but make sure the MOTHERBOARD has four slots so you can add another IDENTICAL kit later for 4x4GB.

Ideally though:
2x8GB 3200MHz CL15 DDR4 (or close)

2) Many games will work fine at 2560x1440 if your monitor is higher than 1920x1080. There's always some ideal combination of game settings, resolution and FPS (and VSYNC on/off) that gives you the best experience.

3) some games will be CPU bottleneck and some GPU bottlenecked but overall an R5 + GTX1060 6GB isn't a bad combo

4) If you have any SPECIFIC questions post them too

5) OVERCLOCKING may help but DDR4 bandwidth is most important for CPU performance.

Worth pointing out that even buying an identical RAM 2x4gb kit later isn’t guaranteed to work. It’s usually ok but only RAM bought in a single kit is guaranteed to work.

I m going to play on 1080p.have a ram of 2400 8gb..is it ok?
Or should i do something manual or something to get the max performance from them

1080p 60Hz? That RAM will work but you are sacrificing a little performance, Ryzen benefits from faster RAM such as 3000mhz or greater. Also is this 2x4gb?

 

[kazijamil74]

No..it is 8 gb directly ..on one slot

Oh that’s even worse, it can only run in single channel mode and not dual channel.
