as you can see i am in need of a graphics card update and am thinking of getting something along the lines of a gtx 1050ti or a 1060 6GB but I dont want to spend my money and then be sad that that it got wasted because of the bottleneck on the CPU.

Thanks.

8100 can handle the 1060/1050ti fine. It wont limit the card... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k6heVCRwhlR9aAHxY5TVrDlu_rPK-X5oaafIPNXuAMM/edit#gid=0

I3 8xxx is not a bottleneck for 1050ti and 1060 6GB on the vast majority of games.
I would not worry about that I3 paired with any of those 2 cards you want.
Your 600W PSU should be also fine.
Have fun with the new card!

I3 8100 is a 4core cpu. Pretty much consider it equitable or slightly better than the older i5 series. So that's not going to be an issue at all on a standard 1080p@60Hz monitor with a gtx1060.

What will be an issue is some games that are cpu thread demanding, like GTA:V or BF:V that have a strong preference for 8 threads. In those games, it won't be the 1060 that lowers the fps, but the i3's 4 threads.

A gtx1060 is a very balanced match for that i3, so a very good choice overall. If there's a decent gap in prices, even the 3Gb version would still be a viable option, as most games at 1080p aren't demanding enough to require more.

I don't think it will bottleneck with 1050ti, it will work fine with 1050ti but I think might bottleneck with 1060 on above 1080p resolution.
But upto 1080p both card will definitely not bottleneck

Even if that 8100 comes like a late i5 4C 4T there's no turbo boost... So 1060 will not be a good choice but for the 1050ti... you will be fine..

 

[Karadjgne]

Most of those older i5 cps came base clock 2.8-3.5GHz with turbo boost from 3.2-3.9GHz, so the fact that the 8100 comes only base 3.6GHz with a higher IPC, will Not be an issue as far as turbo boost goes.

The i3 8100 is just a little better than a i5 4690, even with its clock rate 300MHz slower than the i5's turbo of 3.9GHz.

That's plenty of cpu power for a gtx1060 at 1080p@60Hz

off-topic but I think this is a right place to share this I recently heard that
The HP M7 SSD S700 series are manufactured by a Chinese company called Biwin Storage
