He upgraded his computer and sold his Ryzen 5 5500 for £40 because he thought it was a good deal. He currently uses an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 and a GTX 1660 Super GPU. He believes the stronger CPU might limit the GPU's performance, but he wants to know if this will cause problems, whether his system will fail, if it will slow things down, what the bottleneck is, and if switching CPUs would be a good idea.

Bottlenecking isn't a cause for concern; some slow spots are inevitable. This upgrade won't stress you out when moving from the 2600 to the 5500. You'll likely see a modest improvement in performance compared to the 2600, especially in games that rely heavily on CPU power. A solid value for around $40. You might need to check your BIOS settings to ensure compatibility with the 5000 series—let me know if you're unsure, and I can guide you through it. It can be a bit tricky for someone new to the process.
