Budget cpu

I want a budget cpu and motherboard for 8gb ram 2666mhz and gtx 1050ti with 450 watt psu. Any recommendations? 

I was thinking to get the ryzen 5 3600 with b450 but I think my gpu would bottleneck that, however am okay with that bc later on I'll probably upgrade.

3300X

 

Is that memory 2x4? What power supply?

No it won't 

But if your on a tight budget get a 3300x which is identical in gaming performance  

As for the board a tomahawk max or a mortar max or a b450 pro 4 should be pretty good

There will always be 1 bottleneck in any system. There is no way to avoid that. A 3600 would do fine. 3300X is another good budget option, but i'd not get a 4-core-CPU myself in 2020.

If someone did not use reason to reach their conclusion in the first place, you cannot use reason to convince them otherwise.
