No website can give you exact bottlenecking statistics, it just isn't how bottlenecking works in today's PCs.

 

No, your CPU is WAY overkill for a GTX 1050 Ti, you are more than fine with that combination.

Ryzen 5 3600 | MSI B450 PRO CARBON AC | EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER XC ULTRA |
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Black Edition | Corsair Vengeance RGB 2x8GB 3200MHz |
Phaneks Evolv Tempered Glass | Seasonic FOCUS Gold+ 750W |
Samsung 960 EVO 250GB | 860 EVO 500GB | 850 PRO 256GB | Toshiba 2TB 7200RPM

16GB of RAM would be better and for 1080p you could easily go as high as a 1070 or 1070ti for this computer depending on what games you play and how much GPU horsepower you think you need now and in the future.
