I'm looking to upgrade my PC and could use some advice. Currently, I have a 1x16GB RAM and just purchased 2x8GB sticks to boost my memory. My CPU is an i5-9400F paired with a GTX 1650. I've been considering upgrading to an RTX 2060, but I've heard that my CPU might bottleneck it. What should I do?

Honestly, I don't think the 2060 will bottleneck your CPU that much. Just keep in mind that with 1x16GB and 2x8GB RAM sticks, you won't be able to take advantage of dual channel mode. It might be worth swapping the 2x8GB sticks for another 16GB stick if you can.
Is it a huge difference if I'm not in dual channel?
