Bottleneck performance

So my friend has a G4600 Pentium and a GTX 1050ti, and wants to upgrade the cpu and gpu but can't do both at the same time. He wants to get a Ryzen 7. Which would bottleneck the 1050ti would it perform better just keeping the G4600 and upgrade both together? I'm not very good with computers so sorry if it's a stupid question. Thanks :)

A ryzen 7 will most definitely not bottleneck a 1050Ti so I would go that route first and then swap out the GPU when the next generation cards are out

 

Edit:

I assume you meant to say "wouldn't bottleneck the 1050Ti" in the post. :)

It is better to upgrade to a ryzen 7 then bring a GPU later when 20 series cards are out

the ryzen 7 won't bottleneck  the GTX 1050 Ti

A ryzen 7 could handle a 1080ti no problem :D:D

Please quote or tag me @Void Master,so i can see your reply.

 

Everyone was a noob at the beginning, don't be discouraged by toxic trolls even if u lose 15 times in a row. Keep training and pushing yourself further and further, so u can show those sorry lots how it's done !

Be a supportive player, and make sure to reflect a good image of the game community you are a part of. 

Don't kick a player unless they willingly want to ruin your experience.

We are the gamer community, we should take care of each other !

Unless he's hitting a CPU bottleneck I would just wait a few months and upgrade both at the same time. Intel should release new CPUs by the end of the year and AMD probably will release new ones around February/March.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

What's the motherboard? Maybe with a BIOS update he can just do a CPU upgrade to a 6th or 7th or even 8th generation i5 or i7.

 

Is he limited by a budget?

 

What does he need the computer for? Gaming? Some other non-gaming stuff?

CPU: Sempron 2500+ / P4 2.8E / P4 2.6C / A64 x2 4000+ / E6420 / E8500 / i5-3470 / i7-3770
GPU: TNT2 M64 / Radeon 9000 / MX 440-SE / 7300GT / Radeon 4670 / GTS 250 / Radeon 7950 / 660 Ti
