Help with bottleneck

[Capitaobranca]

Hi , i really need help , im from portugal im planning in updating my gtx 960 2gb oc for a rtx 2060 , rx 5600 xt oc or gtx 1660 super , my friends keep saying it will bottleneck my cpu etc etc but I've seen videos of my cpu running red dead redemption ultra , call of duty warfare ultra , my current build is this one.  

Cpu: i7- 3820 

Motherboard: asus p9x79pro

Gpu: strix gtx 960 2gb oc 

Ram : venegance 32 gigs 

Ssd : yes 

Water cooling : yes (cooler master)

power supply : 850w cooler master silent pro

I really don't have money to upgrade the whole rig , i got 300 euros to work with either those cards arroun the same price , keep in mind in my country there are only those 3 cards in stock from the 4 main big hardware websites 

I really like my processor because it's very old but still kicks ***

your processor will be a bottleneck for a 2060 or above. but its not going to make games unplayable, you'll still get much better than with your 960. you aren't going to run into issues where you wont get 60fps at 1080p say. if you have a 144hz display, then yes you will leave performance on the table, but locked at 60 pull be fine! only games that utilise more than 4 cores will be the biggest issue. battlefield being on of those games where a quad core doesn't really do amazing

But that is the thing , there is a video of s guy with a 3820 playing bf 1 ultra , call of duty ultra , bf 5 ultra , red dead ultra , with a 3820 and i know it can do it because she can handle warframe 2k high settings but the rd2 i can only play all low with 60 fps
