[SOLVED] What is the best, preferably AMD cpu that wouldn't bottleneck my GTX1660ti?

What is the cheapest preferably AMD cpu that will not bottleneck my graphics card, it must be AM4 or recommend a good cheap motherboard that will go with it? Also, it can ship to Germany. Thanks for your help.

Edit: Also would be nice if I didn't have to update the BIOS. But it's fine if I do if the price difference is too big.

Yes. You need the 4+4 for just the cpu. That's its only job. You only need 1x 4+4, which comes with that psu. There's no other place in a pc that that connector goes to, just the EPS/CPU/ATX12v or however the motherboard is labeled. It'll be the power plug in the top left corner.

The gpu uses a similar plug, the PCI/PCIE/GPU, which is 6+2. Some gpu need 8pin, so you'd connect the 6+2 together, some need 6pin, so you just use the 6+2 wire, but not the +2.

So the pcie cable I have would fit into the mobo? I just don't want to spend 80E on a mobo and it turns out I cant use it. Sorry for bugging you soooo much.
