First Time build - bottlenecking

[pokkusan7]

Budget (including currency): $700 or PHP 35,000

Country: Philippines

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Solidwork, Blender, AutoCAD, MATLAB, and CSGO

Other details: I'm stuck between having a Ryzen 5 2600 and a GTX 1660 with it, or a Ryzen 5 3600 and a GTX 1650. Trying to avoid bottlenecking and at the same time going for what I consider the "ultimate" choices for parts that I can afford at the moment. Hi guys! It's my first time posting and building a pc of my own, I just wanted to know what you guys think. Cheers!

been looking at it on bottlenecking websites and it just scares out of me not getting the performance for what I'm gonna spend on. Thanks!

bottlenecking sites are bullshit. for your use cases, if you mostly use the pc as a workstations with only occasional light gaming (csgo), i would go for the better cpu (3600) with a slower gpu. the 1650 is not generally a good deal. aim for 1650 super, rx5500xt or a good old rx580.

I would also avoid that asus motherboard, do you have any other options? asus' b450 line-up is pretty bad, i'd recommend msi or asrock instead for b450

I do actually but, was really looking forward having the PCIE 4.0 update just in case.

the prime-a can handle a ryzen 3, but will struggle to power a ryzen 5 or 7. i don't recommend it. if you definitely must have the pcie 4, go for a b550 board.

I see 4 work programs and one game with opposite requirements.  Everything but the game wants 2600 and 1660 because 1660 has cuda whereas 1650 doesn’t.

Hi guys! So, this post has been here quite a while and I'm still on the hunt for the last part of my PC which is the GPU. I went with a 2600 (never OC'd tho) for the moment it was used from a friend, because PC parts have increased their prices and parts became really hard to find due to the demand for online classes here. So, with the workload I listed up top - still contemplated between a Palit 1650 super StormX OC GDDR6 4GB  or a Gigabyte RX570 GDDR5 8GB. Would really appreciate the replies! Cheers.

between those two, the 1650 super.
