I have a Ryzen 5 5650GE and I'm considering adding an RX 6600 to my system later. Would this be a good CPU-and-GPU combination for gaming, especially at 1080p? I'm also wondering whether the processor's 35W power rating would noticeably limit the RX 6600's performance.

The result depends on the games, resolution, graphics settings, and frame rate you’re targeting. For typical 1080p gaming, this combination should provide a good experience. In demanding competitive games or when aiming for very high refresh rates, the 5650GE could become the limiting part before the RX 6600 does.
This setup is capable of running demanding games such as Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p with medium settings. The 35W rating mainly means the CPU has a lower power and performance ceiling; it does not directly reduce the RX 6600’s performance. Just make sure the system has adequate cooling and a suitable power supply.
Yes, the RX 6600 should pair well with the 5650GE for 1080p gaming. The card is still capable of good performance, and the lower CPU power limit does not automatically prevent it from running properly. You may see somewhat lower CPU performance than with a standard 65W Ryzen chip, especially in CPU-heavy games, but it should not be a major problem for most titles.
