I'm looking to pair an R5 8400F CPU, which uses PCIe 4, with an RTX 5050 GPU that runs on PCIe 5. I'm concerned about whether this combo could lead to any problems, especially if the GPU's 8GB of VRAM is fully utilized. Will the CPU bottleneck the GPU?

That's quite an interesting match-up! Honestly, both components are on the lower end performance-wise. But if that's what fits in your budget, they should work fine together without any major issues.
That’s a crazy combo! Just to clarify, it might not be the best performance-wise, but they'll definitely run together. Just don't expect top-tier gaming experiences.
