Building my second computer.

Alright! so I'm excited today because the rest of my system is arriving via mail today! I am gonna list my specs but I only have one question, Do you all think that I will have bottlenecking issues between my GPU coming out of my old system and my new CPU?

Specs!
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600X

RAM: (2x8) 16 GB Corsair vengeance LPX 3000 Mhz

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-AB350M-DS3H
PSU: Corsair CX Series 550 watt 80+ Bronze

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1050 TI 4GB VRAM Gaming G1

Storage: 2x 1 TB Sea gate Barracuda HDDs

Case: Cooler Master Master Box Lite

Other Stuff: Corsair H60 AIO, Corsair K68 Keyboard, Corsair RGB 120mm fans.

 

I am eventually planning an upgrade to the GPU regardless, but was wondering if bottlenecks will be an immediate issue with this setup? I don't believe that this should bottleneck but I thought that about my last rig and was wrong.

would have been  good idea to ask beforehand

 

that being said, you'll be pretty fine. Yes, your CPU can handle a lot more GPU muscle (meaning you'll see a lot of 100% GPU usage at mild settings), but no, your performance won't be god awful until you upgrade.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Thanks! and I am planning a GPU upgrade soon either way, here in a couple of paychecks planning on going for a GTX 1070 TI most likely.

Don't be afraid to buy used. You can save good  money.
