I'm trying to decide on the best processor to pair with my RTX 2060 Super. I'm considering the Ryzen 5 3600 but want to avoid any potential bottlenecks. Are there better alternatives I should be looking at?

The Ryzen 5 3600 should work perfectly with the 2060 Super. Don't stress too much about the online calculators; they often overstate how powerful the CPU needs to be for mid-tier GPUs.
It would help to know your budget, but honestly, the Ryzen 5 3600 is a solid choice for the 2060 Super. Also, you might want to check if the Ryzen 5 5500 is available for a better price, as they perform similarly.
Definitely consider the Ryzen 7 7600 or 9600 if you're looking for something a bit more powerful. Upgrading to a better GPU later on could also be a good move if you plan to game at higher resolutions.
Thanks for the suggestions! I'm more into 1080p gaming right now, so I think the 2060 Super will do just fine for me.
