Facing a bottleneck, Which option should i go for?

[birutho]

so i am going to build a new gaming PC , i was going for AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, and RTX 2070 Super,

however, i am planning to use a new monitor which runs at 1080P , 60HZ

so after the salesperson heard it, he told me that if i want to play with that particular monitor, i should consider upgrading my processor to Ryzen 7 or i7 or higher, or else i will be facing bottleneck.

 

He also gave me another option that i can stick with the monitor, and the Ryzen 5 processor, but i'll have to "downgrade" to GTX 1660 series

 

and lastly, he gave me the very last option, if i wanna stick with Ryzen 5 processors and RTX 2070 Super, i should consider buying a new monitor with higher resolution or refresh rates

 

which option should i go for?

He is completely wrong 

A 3600 won't bottleneck a 2080 ti

Consider a 5700xt 

Cheaper and has almost the same performance

It can handle it but if you are ok with the current one keep it

I never heard of the monitor causing a bottleneck with the system itself. Maybe the salesperson underestimated you or something. Or he is trying to sell you out on more expensive parts. Since a CPU/GPU upgrade or monitor upgrade might mean something for him (maybe commission). 

 

I heard this one story where one person who was techy, but did not know much about computers and was sold a PC that you can play AAA games, but he only need a PC to use a web browser.

Don't listen to the dumb sales guy lol.

 

However, an R5 3600 and a RTX 2070 Super are overkill for 1080p 60Hz.

i understand where he's coming from with the monitor, a cpu uses less power the higher the resolution a game is running at, usually

Could you restate that?

Its a 1080p monitor.

 

In other words, that is a very uninformed statement.

No bottlenecks confirmed with 3600 with any current graphics card and get better than 60hz monitor for these beasts of hardware.
You are tickling 144fps here and there so get atleast 144hz monitor.

1080p is fine. But that refresh rate is not.

Consider that 5700x too!

The salesperson was trying to milk money!

EDIT:
Could have been clueless too, but everything you were told was all over the place.

from my understanding, the GPU is able to push more frames at lower resolutions, so it becomes more difficult for the CPU to send the frames to the GPU as quickly as it needs to.
