Is this a good paring

Is a ryzen 3 1200 with a GTX 970 a good paring?

I found a ryzen 3 1200 for £92 on amazon and was wondering if that is a good paring with a GTX 970

What does that GPU cost? It should still perform decent for 1080p.

 

A 1200 would easily bottleneck that GPU and isn't worth that price. For a little more you can get a 10400F, if you can't extend the budget that far maybe a 10105F.

 

Actually the 10105F is even cheaper while being faster than a 1200. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Core-i3-10105F-10th-Generation/dp/B08V1KKZ12/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=1MGQBP9O7PV8O&dchild=1&keywords=i3+10105f&qid=1635196828&qsid=260-2954204-6890541&sprefix=i3+10105f%2Caps%2C121&sr=8-1&sres=B08V1KKZ12%2CB091CWPYTX%2CB092CCJ2GZ%2CB08L9NTKZG%2CB08LKJPR5X%2CB08V1T4JC1%2CB07RXW4Y2K%2CB086MMRW87%2CB0974ZBVZT%2CB0073QF7BQ%2CB01445KZKQ%2CB08TX5Y86N%2CB08L1TP5D2%2CB0883NG147&srpt=COMPUTER_PROCESSOR
