I'm curious about how much bottle-necking I'd experience if I pair a Ryzen 5500 with an RTX 9060. I plan to stick with the 5500 for now and possibly upgrade to a 5600 in about a year, but I'm hesitant to spend an extra $50 right now. This setup might also allow me to get an even better CPU down the line. What do you think?

For most AAA games, the GPU takes the lead, so you might not notice much of a bottleneck with the Ryzen 5500. However, in competitive FPS games, having a solid CPU can make a difference, and you might run into some limitations.

If I play those FPS games at 1080p, do you think I'll be okay?
