So, I'm gathering up a parts list for my first custom pc. I have about £700 to spend on both a PC and a Monitor, and (with many different tries on pc part picker) I've just managed to fit in a 2nd hand RTX 2060, currently with a Ryzen 5 2600 (which costs about £120-130) as 1600 AF prices have gone up, they currently cost about £130. However, I would certainly be able to fit my budget if I went for an £80/£90 CPU, such as a 3100. However, my immediate thought was that this would bottleneck the 2060. Is this correct? If so, How bad would the bottleneck be?

You mentioned having a 2600 already. Would you like to reduce your grade further?

It could create a minor slowdown in some games, so you shouldn't expect to save 40 euros.

The initial note was confusing, and I don’t have a 2600 yet. I have some sections that include the 2600, but I’m trying to reduce the cost.

The 3100 wouldn't work, but the 3300 might be worth looking into if the cost gap is small.
