Possible bottleneck

[iMDarker]

Hello, i'm looking to buy this build: 

PCPartPicker Part List:

 

 

CPU: Intel - Core i5-9600K 3.7 GHz 6-Core Processor 
CPU Cooler: be quiet! - Dark Rock Pro 4 50.5 CFM CPU Cooler 
Motherboard: MSI - Z390-A PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard  
Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory 
Storage: Seagate - Barracuda Computer 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  
Video Card: Zotac ZT-T20710F-10P GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8GB GDDR6
Case: NZXT - H500 ATX Mid Tower Case 
Power Supply: Corsair - CXM 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply  

 

I'm wondering if it will bottleneck hard since it's an i5 and a 2070 super and if it's okay buying them

No you will be perfectly fine using an RTX 2070 with this i5 9600k. You will have a pleasant experience.

Either it will bottleneck the bottleneck so hard that the bottleneck gets bottlenecked, or it will work just fine. 

 

It depends on how you use it... 

 

But IMHO as long as you go above 4 ghz with the I5 you shouldn't have much issues... but yes the cpu will bottleneck the gfx card due to it being at near 2080 level of performance.

 

But even an I7 or I9 will bottleneck... so personally when building a new rig I too would go for an I5 but not a 2070, only a 2060 if... ok I only run 1080p so that will be enough.

Overclock both the CPU and GPU for a better experience, if you have the cooling capability and aren't worried on temps because the 9600k might get a little warmer than some other counterparts.

you're fine everything up from an i5 9600k or a ryzen 5 3600 won't bottleneck anything

Like my current old build... I5 3750k at above 4 ghz and currently a 1060 still chews through all I throw at it.

I got a laptop and have had multiple laptops for like the past 10 years i'm eager to start overclocking that i5

Depends on the use case, in some use cases, a 8700k can bottleneck a rx 570. (im not being unrealistic here either, i used to use a rx 570 for a few months and my 8700k bottle necked it in overwatch) If you're only gaming if you want 60fps, your good, 144fps you will be fine in most things but i'm near certain something like battlefield 5 wont hit 144fps.

[Anghammarad]

A pity you can't get the EKL Alpenfoehn Gotthart anymore, alse I would have suggested that top blower for your system instead of the dark rock

I'm buying this pc to play things like fortnite battalion and gta in really demanding games i'm not looking to hit 144fps but i wanna hit it in the games i play competetively(fortnite and battalion)

You will be fine.

You'll be find pairing a RTX 2070 with a I5 9600K.

Good match up
