I was reccomended this as a cpu not to bottleneck teh 3060 by alot, I actually was thinking of going ryzen but the prices for ryzen are really high rn. The 11400 wont bottleneck teh 3060 right?

Actually the 11500 is a better option because it features a better iGPU until OP acquires a 3060 ti

Ok, but keep in mind the 11500 features a significant bump in iGPU power.
