Hey everyone! I've got a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU paired with an RTX 4060 GPU, running on a B450 Aorus motherboard with 18GB of RAM. I recently upgraded to the RTX 4060 and ran a bottleneck calculator, which suggests that my CPU is holding back the GPU performance by around 30% at 1920x1080p. I'm looking for advice on which Ryzen CPU would be a good upgrade for my setup. Thanks!

Honestly, those bottleneck calculators can be pretty misleading. Your 3600 is a decent match for 1080p gaming, but if you want more, consider upgrading to the Ryzen 7 3700X. It's a solid choice and usually doesn’t need a BIOS update. If you're looking for more performance, the 5600X is also a great option—just check the prices since the X3D models have become quite pricey lately!
I agree with you! I think the 5600X might be the sweet spot without breaking the bank.
