Ryzen with Nvidia

[IamPROJECT]

Hey, so I'm wondering if the Ryzen 5 1400 would pair with the Geforce GTX 1060 nicely. Will the system support this cross-company* (is this a thing?) compatibility wise? And will the CPU be a bottleneck for the graphics card? Also, would this system be ok for streaming and light content creation? If not, what CPU is recommended? I know it's a lot of questions all in one post but I have a lot of concerns. Thanks ;P

no it'll kill your cat. 

 

 

 

 

yes ofc it's fine. And Idk what your budget looks like so I can't say if it's the best choice or not, but seems solid all around to me.

No bottleneck, will work fine. Best option you have at that price point for streaming/content creation also.

AMD and Intel CPUs will generally support any GPU you throw at it, regardless of the company that manufactured it.

 

To my knowledge, the Ryzen 5 1400 will not bottleneck this system, but you may want to consider an R5 1500X or 1600. They both come with marginally better coolers (if you are sticking with stock) and are generally better for content creation.

no, you need an Nvidia CPU /s

Yes it will work.

Haha, very funny guys. It will pair nicely, OC wise though, like @Homeless_Pineapple said, getting the next tier up will help.
