Which of these will Bottleneck?

So im shopping for a GPU and CPU for my first pc and i wanna know which of the following Will Or Will NOT bottleneck if used together and how it will bottleneck:
GTX 1060 3GB/6GB

GTX 1070 

GTX 1080/1080 TI

Ryzen 5 1600/1600x

Ryzen 7 1700/1700x

Ryzen 7 1800x

Just buy the damn cpu and gpu within your budget and stop worrying so much about bottlenecks.

The 1060 and 1070 should be fine with a R5 1600.

 

but for the 1080 and 1080Ti i would go with a R7 1700.

You won't really see a bottleneck there, not a super noticeable one for the most part. For my use case (gaming + basic use like skype, discord, browing and media consumption), I'd go with a 1700 and get a decent cooler, probably a 280 AIO and overclock it and pair it with a 1080.

 

For the record: Don't pair a 1600 with a 1080Ti... that wasn't what I meant. My main point is that the more budgt oriented CPU and GPU won't bottleneck, and the more enthusiast CPU and GPU won't either.

Both the 1080 and 1080TI will not bottleneck the R5-1600. I don't know this for a fact. But the R5 1600 is better than an i7 6-Core which is what I have and am not bottlenecked.

GPU should always be the bottleneck of your system

none really, just get a 1600 with the highest gpu you can get or a 1700 if you need the extra cores

Back in the old days, I never heard the word bottleneck, it was more about how can I run my components to its full potential. Now in the year 2017, all I hear is, will these bottleneck, will those bottleneck, bottleneck, bottleneck, bottleneck! What the hell happen to the enthusiasts of today?!

 

Threads I see back in the days...

vs thread of today

bottleneck, bottleneck, bottleneck.

Wholeheartedly agree.  When building my main system (specs in sig)  the question i asked was... are these a good pairing.  and yes, yes they are for my main gaming use case.  but... for the usecase of my server, so is my R7 1700 w/ GT710 a great pairing lol.

Server aren't for gaming so a low end gpu is good enough. Some even use onboard graphics. Proper server boards will have onboard gpu, even on the ultra high-end.

 

Like this Xeon scalable board

I hear you there.... server is a plex server where i store lossless BluRay Rips (i own the physical media, but its hard to put a blu ray into a smartphone...theres no slot for it).  CPU trans-coding LOVES threads lol.  its not even connected to a monitor, the GPU is diagnostic only.

 

Your making me drool with your supermicro porn :)

 

To get back to topic, buy whatever combination fits your budget and use case.  As Mr. Numlock alluded to earlier.
