Hey, I’ve been considering upgrading my CPU board to a Ryzen 7 3800X instead of the i7 6700. I have an RTX 2060 and I’m a bit confused about whether it’ll work well. Some people say they should be fine, but a bottleneck calculator says it’s around 50%. That’s a bit concerning. For someone new to this, I’d want to double-check the compatibility and performance expectations before jumping in. If you’re unsure, maybe start with a lower-end Ryzen and see how it performs. Let me know what you think!

It seems like you're asking about something that might work well, but could use more context. Could you clarify what you're referring to?

Avoid using bottleneck calculators. They can be confusing. Don't aim for a 3800x, opt for a 3700x instead. A 3600 is also acceptable.

just aiming for the highest FPS games possible since I'm using a 240Hz screen, mostly playing Cod Fortnite and Valorant

You'll be fine. Those aren't terribly demanding. Would even suggest a 3700x, especially if you can overclock it even a little
