I'm thinking about getting a Ryzen 5 5600 paired with a 3060 Ti because it seems like a good value on the used market here. My main goal is to play games at 1080p, but I'm concerned about whether this combination will cause any bottlenecks. Is this a solid setup for a budget build?

As long as you're not pushing a higher-end GPU like the 5070 Ti or playing CPU-intensive games like City Skylines 2, the 5600 should serve you well!
It really depends on the resolution and the specific game settings you use. There’s always some level of a bottleneck, but honestly, I think this combo works well. Just remember, if you're getting the 3060 Ti used, make sure the price and condition are right since it's a couple of generations old now.
I’ve got a Ryzen 5 5700x with a 5060 Ti and there’s no bottleneck at all. I’m pretty sure the 5600 would do just fine with the 3060 Ti too.
Absolutely, I built a similar setup for my dad, and it runs great! Perfect for gaming at 1080p, you won't have any issues.
This is a solid budget pairing! It might bottleneck in some CPU-heavy games, like Cyberpunk 2077 with lots of NPCs on screen, but generally, everything should run smoothly for 1080p gaming.
