[SOLVED] Will this be a bottleneck?

[pranavhnairxd]

Hey I'm building a pc on a budget and I'd like to know if pairing a intel i5 9400F with a gtx 1650 or rx 570 would result in a bottleneck. Also which would be better, the 570 or the 1650?

At 1080P it's a fine pairing and the RX 570 is better.

Both of those will work well with the 9400F. No bottleneck.
The 1650 is faster than the 570.

Every system has a "bottleneck" - and people get too hung up on it.
Yes, a 9400F would pair well with even stronger GPUs than the two proposed, but that doesn't make this a 'bad' pairing by any means.

The RX570 is the stronger GPU of the two options, so would be what I'd go for here

Have you considered an AM4 platform? A 9400F + Z390 board will set you back around $250 sans RAM (in the US at least) for a strict 6c/6t chip.

A first-gen Ryzen5 1600 can be had (including a B450 board) for ~$170

From a "budget" standpoint, both would be solid offerings and pair well with either GPU (although obviously favouring the 2600)..... OR you could put that money "saved" ($60-$80) into a stronger GPU.... RX580 or 1660 , maybe?

It won't bottleneck, but you could get a Ryzen 5 2600. Double the threads, more clock speed, less expensive, nice stock cooler, more future proof.
Also go for the RX570. Its just faster and cheaper.

Both of those will work well with the 9400F. No bottleneck.
The 1650 is faster than the 570.

Maybe on G3D mark, but most certainly NOT when gaming. Except for Grand Theft Auto V.
