I'm looking to upgrade my PC's CPU and GPU and could really use some advice. I'm considering getting a 5060ti with 16GB and an i5-10600k since my motherboard only supports 10th gen CPUs (it's LGA1200). However, I'm concerned about whether the GPU might bottleneck the CPU. Just a heads-up, I'm new to building and upgrading PCs, so I appreciate any help!
My current specs are:
- GPU: Nvidia GTX 1650
- CPU: Intel i3-10300
- RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) Gskill 2133 MHz
- Storage: Samsung SSD 860 EVO (500 GB) and Seagate Barracuda (1.82 TB)
- Motherboard: H470m Pro4
My budget for this upgrade is around $500-$600, and I'm mainly focused on 1080p gaming—I'm not too worried about higher resolutions like 1440p.

I think the i5-10600k and 5060ti combo should work fine for you! The performance is solid for 1080p gaming. You might be okay with it as it won't bottleneck too much. Just make sure your power supply is up to the task!
Would the i5-10600k perform poorly with the 5060ti? Or should I consider downgrading to a 3060 instead?
