Bottleneck and motherboard issues often affect performance. Addressing these can improve system efficiency.

There could be a noticeable slowdown if you matched a R5 5600X with a GTX 1060 6Gb. A suitable motherboard would be one that supports the R5's PCIe slot and offers strong overclocking capabilities.
The GPU seems quite limited for the 5600X, are you thinking about a future upgrade? Which country are you considering?
Invest in older Ryzen models for consistent results. The 5000 series offers strong performance without breaking the bank. Consider used Ryzen 5 2600 units if you need 1080p at 60fps. PCPartPicker lists these items with current pricing, taxes, and shipping included.
If you choose this processor, it may become too slow after a while. The performance drop you've noticed suggests you might need an upgrade soon. I recommend a MicroATX board over a full ATX because it offers better power efficiency and cooler performance for your current setup. Your 350W PSU should handle the load, but if you plan to run more demanding components, consider a higher wattage unit for reliability.
Your CPU seems to be experiencing issues, likely a hardware fault unrelated to the model. In a few months, it should perform just as well as when it first started. I don’t know your case type, so I can’t determine the available space. Do you have an ATX build or specific features in mind? There isn’t a great 350-watt ATX PSU available right now. Because you’re cutting costs on the CPU, you might want to invest a bit more in a 450-watt unit and up to 550 if you plan serious upgrades. Extra capacity would be useful if you intend to add RTX 3080 or RX 6800 XT cards later, though that may not be necessary. If you need ATX and a solid power supply, PCPartPicker has the right options. Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts. Total comes to £269.13. This listing was generated by PCPartPicker on October 29, 2020 at 21:43 GMT+0000.
