Depending on your budget, that 4 core cpu can support any GPU. though expect lowered performance due to bottle necking. Id say just buy the best GPU you can afford then upgrade the rest of the system when you have the budget.

Im with the mentaility of "IF IM NOT SURE IF ITS ENOUGH COOLING, GO OVERKILL"

 

CURRENT PC SPECS    

CPU             Ryzen 5 3600 (Formerly Ryzen 3 1200)

GPU             : ASUS RX 580 Dual OC (Formerly ASUS GTX 1060 but it got corroded for some odd reasons)

GPU COOOER      : ID Cooling Frostflow 120 VGA (Stock cooler overheats even when undervolted :()

MOBO            : MSI B350m Bazooka

MEMORY          Team Group Elite TUF DDR4 3600 Mhz CL 16
STORAGE         : Seagate Baracudda 1TB and Kingston SSD
PSU             : Thermaltake Lite power 550W (Gonna change soon as i dont trust this)
CASE            : Rakk Anyag Frost
CPU COOLER      : ID-Cooling SE 207
CASE FANS       : Mix of ID cooling fans, Corsair fans and Rakk Ounos (planned change to ID Cooling)

MOUSE           : Logitech G603 Lightspeed
KEYBOARD        : Rakk Lam Ang

I'll get another 4gb or a 8gb stick soon and maybe i'll buy a new psu. With the rx 570 inserted, will the build be bottleneck?

You will get bottlenecks in CPU limited games but generally you will have a good experience with the RX 570 on 1080P.

As someone who uses one currently, the RX 570 is amazing to pair with it. However the CPU does bottleneck it in some games like Destiny 2, Tarkov (not huge but noticeable), and most other FPS games.

Who needs fancy graphics and high resolutions when you can get a 60 FPS frame rate on iGPUs?

Crap I’m a little late, if it has at least a PCIE X8 slot you should be fine. What model do you have?
