I had this pc since 2017

Currently im looking to upgrade my 1060 3gb gpu to a RTX 2060 without upgrading my cpu 

 

CPU: i5 7500

GPU: Zotac 1060 3GB

MOBO: Asrock B250M HDV

RAM: Klevv 8GB

 

My current build is a budget build pc so will there be any problems or bottleneck  if i wanna upgrade my gpu to a RTX 2060? (not the super version)

Unless you absolutely need an upgrade now. 

Get an extra 8 gigs ( if your in single channel then getting the extra one will effectively double your bandwidth) and Wait for zen 3 and ampere and big Navi. I would say this build should be fine for now.

Might be better off upgrading the whole system, in the long run.

Better in the short term would be another 8GB; if you have a single 8GB stick, replace it with a matched pair, though.

Current PC spec. in my profile.
Can I realistically call myself a gamer, if I only play ONE, twenty year old game...?

Did you test boot it, before you built in into the case?

WHY NOT...?!

So upgrading to a rtx 2060 would result any problems?

Technically the 7500 won't slow it down but in games where more then 4c/4t will be utilized, then this kaby lake cpu will hold you back. Wait for ampere and big Navi and zen 3.
