[SOLVED] Will these parts bottleneck?

[EJ Morin]

I know this doesn't directly relate to overclocking, but bottlenecking is an aspect. I want to pair a

AMD Ryzen 3 3100 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor

with a

ASRock Radeon RX 570 8 GB Phantom Gaming D Video Card

Will they bottleneck? The bottleneck calculator doesn't yet list the Ryzen 3100x yet, and I don't know how to check their bottleneck

Bottleneck calculators are garbage - don't rely on them.

You check the weakest links by playing your games and monitoring the usage in each one. There is no real shortcut to this, because what games you play and what someone else plays may have different needs.
-Usage of each cpu core/thread: all it takes is one to be a cpu limitation. Whole cpu usage is incorrect.
-Ram usage
-Gpu usage
The one that holds back performance the most frequently is the weakest link.

It's all good, the ryzen 3 3100 is actually quite a good cpu. I'd put the ryzen 3 3100 at around mid range. Videos etc, and judging by the specs it seems like quite a solid cpu!

That site is worse than useless. No better than reading tea leaves or throwing chicken bones.

How should I make sure there is little bottlenecking without first purchasing the parts

By ignoring the word "bottleneck".
Buy balanced parts and all is well.

What is your definition of the word bottleneck in this context?

Asking for advice. Those bottleneck calculators are misleading garbage and anything you have read on it should be forgotten.

Even the best systems can bottleneck in certain circumstances. You really looking for a balanced cpu and gpu combination but also considering monitor resolution and Hz, something those sites don’t do.

I have a 144hz monitor. I don't really know how these things influence it though, pretty new to PC building

I am trying to make a balanced system; just trying to make sure my CPU doesn't outperform my GPU or vice versa

There's always a bottleneck limitation present. It can't be avoided. If it's not the hardware, it's the software, and vice versa.

How can I tell if my parts are balanced?
