No, it won't cause a bottleneck. The Ryzen 5 5600X handles the RTX 2060's performance well.

Hello! Your interest in the Ryzen 5 5600X is great, but I need to check if your current graphics card can handle the demands of those games. You mentioned you'll be playing Valorant, CS:GO, Call of Duty Cold War, Warzone, Fortnite, and others at 1080p now and possibly up to 1440p later. With 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, you're well-equipped for most modern titles. Let me know if you'd like a more detailed assessment! PS: You’re all set for the future upgrades.
Interesting! Your quick reply is appreciated. It’s helpful to understand what works for your needs now. For your present setup, the RTX 2060 should suffice.
it surprised me how limited the 2060 was. i assumed it matched or even exceeded the performance of a 1070 that works well with strong i5 and i7 processors from intel
I'm using an RTX 2060 with a 3700x CPU. I'm playing at 1080p and 144Hz. Performance varies a lot—older single-threaded titles like Stalker Clear Sky make the CPU the main issue, while newer games such as Destiny 2 or Doom Eternal put pressure on the GPU. I notice the GPU is working hard and still can't reach 144fps. Yes, your GPU could be limiting things depending on what you're playing.
3600 is a solid CPU, not something to ignore. However, the ideal choice depends on your gaming goals. Running games at 1 million FPS is challenging, but it’s still doable with a 3600. It performs similarly to a 1070, though 3D Mark Time Spy scores higher with 2060. The i7-7700K matches closely with the 3600 in performance. Modern titles favor powerful GPUs over CPUs, but if you need top-tier visuals, a stronger CPU might be worth considering. The 1070 is no longer a top GPU option. Notable scores exist for 2060, especially in demanding scenarios like RDR2 or high FPS content.
Thanks for your response and the details! Upgrading will definitely be a decision for the distant future, given that you received your new PC around three months ago. I didn’t include your current CPU in my earlier message—your i5 6500 was quite reliable, but I’m experiencing performance issues with the frames in games. You’re considering switching to Ryzen 5 3600, 7 3700X, or 5 5600X—great options to explore!
Agreed, that sounds like a challenge ahead. I’ll have to accept the slowdown for now since both games demand more power. My i5 6500 barely reaches 144 FPS in Valorant, and I’m stuck at about 40 FPS in COD.
