Hey everyone, I just got my hands on an i5-13600K and I'm looking to match it with either a 5070 or a 5060 Ti. I'm really curious about how well this setup will perform together. Will I run into any bottlenecking or lag while gaming? By the way, I have an 850-watt power supply that's 80 Plus Gold certified. I opted for this one over a slightly cheaper 750-watt option because of the price difference of 1,200 INR. I'd appreciate any insights from you all!

Honestly, I don't see any bottleneck happening with your setup. It looks to be a good match. You'll have plenty of power with your 850-watt PSU too!
It really depends on the games you plan to play. Some titles are CPU-heavy and might put more strain on your i5, whereas others will lean much more on the GPU. RPGs and action games usually favor the GPU, while simulation games like Stellaris might stress the CPU more.
Just a heads up though, some users have mentioned that they wished they'd gone with the next PSU up for more headroom, but it sounds like you made a wise choice.
