Those games aren't very GPU demanding, there's a high probability the CPU will bottleneck the RTX 3090 unless you play minecraft with shaders or ray tracing, or play COD Warzone and Fortnite at max settings at 4k.

Did you need to post this in two places? 

 

 

That system will have no problem with any of those games, but something tells me you already knew that.

why would you pair a $200 CPU with a $1500 GPU

Like I said in the other identical thread with this question you just posted, it'll be fine but I think you already knew that. 

 

You want to be playing at 1440p or 4K to make use of that 3090 and minimize how much that 3600 bottlenecks the GPU.

Not a good combo at all, CPU bottlenecks the GPU. Pretty much the 3080 is already max for a 3600. Better to pair a 3090 with at least a Ryzen 7, if you got Ryzen 5, then it should be 5000 series.

i meant 2060 sorry

[Jayzer]

A 2060 would be sufficient for a Ryzen 5 3600

 

My predicted FPS for your games with that combo would be:

COD Warzone: about 45 fps (Ultra-High quality)

Fortnite: about 83 fps (Ultra-High quality)

Minecraft: A lot (With all the quality settings and whatnot turned on)

What's your budget and country? Are you upgrading or putting together a whole new system? Using the posting guidelines for this page would be helpful.

It's okay. But that's a $1500 graphics card vs a $350 one. Please correct it in your first post, so people know.
Anyway, RTX 2060 is totally fine with a Ryzen 5 3600, good balance.

Ok so around $1000 then I guess? Where were you planning on getting the 2060 from as stock on most cards is completely empty atm. 3600+2060 is a good mid-range combo if you can get the 2060 for a reasonable price.
