CPU upgrade suggestions

[Ruckledge]

I'm planning to get a new cpu for my zotac rtx 2060. I have in mind the ryzen 5 3600 nd the ryzen 5 3500. If I go with the 3600 will it bottleneck the 2060?? Nd btw I'm going with the gigabyte b450 aorus elite mobo

If you're upgrading now (like you can't wait) then go with 3600. It's a very good cpu. Just built my dads system with it he also has a msi gaming z rtx 2060
