Need help. First time pc build.

[Orange_Joe]

Budget (including currency): 1,500 usd

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: destiny 2 mostly. 

Other details hello, I’m an Xbox player finally making the switch to pc. I’ve spent a month doing as much research as I can but I’ve become a bit overwhelmed so I’m seeking some wisdom. As it stands, I’m planning on buying a ryzen 5 3600 with an rtx2080super. Is the cpu going to bottleneck with that combination or should I buy a better cpu and a cheaper gpu? I wish I could be more technical but I’m fairly new to this, though I’m hungry to learn everything. I’ll be using a 4K tv at first until I’m able to purchase a proper monitor.  Thank you.

ps I hope I posted this in the right place. I apologize if I didn’t.

Graphic card and processor will work great together

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (Clock speed at 100%) with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER (Clock speed at 100%) x1 will produce only 0.19% of bottleneck.

wow. the rtx 2080 sea hawk is pretty good deal. only 10-20 dollars more than the cheapest rtx 2080 super's but it is watercooled.

Thank you for doing this. This was the 2080 I had originally picked. Is it a bad one?
