Will my i5-12400F hold back the performance of the RX 9060XT 16GB?
Asked by

I'm in the process of building a new PC and I had to adjust my budget because of rising RAM prices. Here's what I've got so far: an i5-12400F CPU, an RX 9060XT 16GB GPU, an MSI B760M DDR4 motherboard, 16GB of RAM (in dual channel), and a Core Reactor II 750W PSU. I'm wondering if my CPU will bottleneck my GPU in gaming or other tasks.

If you already have the parts, you should be good to go! Some folks have mentioned that in specific games like Battlefield 6 and Hogwarts Legacy, there could be minor bottlenecking, but overall, you should have a solid experience with what you’ve picked.

Since you’re going for an i5-12400F and RX 9060XT, you’re probably fine! However, if you’re planning any future upgrades, consider looking into an i7-12700F and upgrading your RAM to 32GB if budget allows. But for now, just enjoy your build!

Yeah, you're safe! I've got a similar setup with a 14400F and 6800XT, and it runs great!
