Would my system bottleneck?

Instead of worrying about if something will cause bottlenecking, ask yourself this: Am I getting the performance I want out of games? If the answer is "no", upgrade the video card anyway. Ask yourself the question again and if the answer is still "no," then upgrade the CPU.

 

If you're upgrading the CPU anyway, you can skip the second part.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted

That seems reasonably balanced to me.  Keep in mind that there is always a bottleneck or else you'd get infinite performance.  Unless you're doing low res high framerate, your GPU will still hold you back in both cases, but that's generally how things are and is preferable to the CPU holding you back, since it's easier to upgrade later and causes smoother performance.

I think i'll switch to a I5 9600K instead, and stay with gtx 1060 for now and then upgrade my graphics card to like RTX 2060 Super. Think thats the best performance i'll get from that build.

What motherboard do you already have?  Would you be buying a new one for that or just slotting a new CPU into the existing board?

No i would have to upgrade my motherboard as well because i'm still on ddr3 and a  a cheap i5.

I thought of getting B360 Gaming Plus Msi motherboard  With the intel i5-9600k and of course with new 16 gb 2666 mhz DDR4 RAM

Would that be a good thing to do?

It's very difficult to recommend Intel at this point.  Technically speaking they have the fastest gaming CPU (9900k), but you're paying the same for that as you would for a 3900x, which is nearly as good in games but massively better in multi-threaded tasks, so if you do anything other than gaming, particularly if you don't game at high framerates, Intel just doesn't make sense.  Especially if you have to buy a new motherboard anyway, AMD's platform is currently more advanced, offering PCIe gen 4, etc. in case that matters to you.

I'm not sure if this Bottleneck calculator site is fake or its showing true stats , but its showing that having a gtx 1060 3gb with a 3900x would cause huge bottleneck . and then even if i upgraded my graphics to rtx 2060 super , it still shows big bottleneck. i'm not really sure what to do now.

That's total BS.  If you are ever unsure, you can cross reference with trusted reviews like LTT, gamers nexus, etc.

Can you just explain me about this multi threaded task because in my case i mostly game and i dont do heavy designing stuff or editing or those kind of programs. But sometimes i have some programs open up at once and i would like to get into streaming games.

For streaming you can't beat the NVENC encoder built into the 20 series nvidia GPUs.  No significant performance overhead and the quality is great.  If you had an AMD GPU, for many people they're a better value but if you plan to stream, the encoder becomes a concern because the AMD GPU encoder is currently absolute trash, meaning you'd need to use x264 (CPU encoding), and that takes a lot more horsepower - easily enough to eat up a 3900x when it's also the gaming system.

 

When I say multi-threaded tasks, that's the kind of thing I mean - CPU encoding, or video editing and rendering, or 3D modelling, or running a lot of VMs, etc.

Oh yea i dont really do video encoding and that stuff but i would like to try to stream. So i will probably stay with gtx 1060 and then upgrade to a rtx 2060 super. And also imma upgrade to intel i5 9600k soon with 16 gb dd4 ram. Sounds like a fair system i think.

Get ryzen 5 3600

 

Ryzen 5 3600 6 cores/ 12 thread, better for streaming (lower clock speed but more threads) >4.5ghz core clock speed

Intel i5 9600k 6cores / 6 thread, better for gaming (better clock speed) <4.5ghz clock speed.
