Windows 10 64-bit
500 Watt PSU Gladias Venomrx
SSD 240GB
1TB HDD
ASROCK B450M Steel Legend

And im planning to change my GPU to a RTX 2070 or RTX 2060.
Will my CPU bottleneck the RTX 2070?

Every system can bottleneck. What resolution is your monitor and what games do you play.

Generally they are a good pairing.
For now 1600x900 but if i upgrade to a RTX im planning to buy a 144Hz Monitor
I play basically anything
Heres a link to my Steam games : <Link to your personal library REDACTED>

Nothing will bottleneck
Everything will be perfect. My system is a lot weaker than yours (i7 2600k, released in 2011, 8 years old) and I run an RTX 2060 with zero bottleneck - take the word bottleneck and don't use it ever again :)
1660ti is an amazing card for 1080p, you won't see much difference going up graphic cards if you still use an old monitor

Guess I'll go to the store and buy an RTX 2080 Ti for my FX 8350
