I have a ryzen 3 2200g, aorus b450-m , gtx 1050ti 4gb, 12gb 2999 ram, 650w power supply, and this setup is a budget one, but i have saved enough money ($350) to upgrade, but i don't know if i should go with a ryzen 5 3600 (yes that is right not the 2600 but the 3600) and pair it with either a 1060 6gb or a 580 8gb. I have also been thinking long term and i don't know if 1060 6gb or 580 8gb will last 2-3 years since they've been around since forever. So i also thought of upgrading to a rtx 2060, and later down the line upgrade to a more powerful processor than that of a 3600, but i don't know if the ryzen 2200g will bottleneck the 2060.

I intend to play at 1080p but planning to expand to 1440p (no plans for 144hz yet)
Games that i'd like to play
Forza Horizon 4
Nier Automata
Devil May Cry 5
Left 4 Dead 2 (with lots of unstable mods)
Minecraft with shaders

I have a CPU that is similar a bit to yours with rtx 2060 and it bottlenecked on most games. (Forza horizon 4 runs perfectly on ultra settings even though there is a bottleneck but other games suffer) . RTX 2060 IS the perfect card for 1080P ans 1440P . But if you really want the best experience with it . I suggest you to get a ryzen 3600 . Its a perfect combanation with rtx 2060. I for example will be grabbing the 3700x for future proof
