You're considering switching from an i5 7400 to a Ryzen 9 3900k. You've already ordered the motherboard and are aware it's a significant upgrade. Your GPU is an AMD RX 580 with 4GB RAM, which is a decent card but not the fastest. You're concerned about whether the CPU upgrade might create a bottleneck with your GPU. The bottleneck calculator you found seems questionable, so proceed with caution. With 16GB of DDR4 RAM, you should have enough headroom. Good luck with this change!

Hello there! The new CPU is boosting performance beyond anything you've experienced before. The main limitation in gaming is shifting from the GPU to the CPU. Good luck with your setup!

The GPU might be the limiting factor. How fast is it? Why does it matter?

The RAM operates at 3200Mhz. The product I’m considering: https://www.amazon.com/CORSAIR-Vengeance...2518850182. It’s suited for tasks such as Blender rendering, 3D modeling, and multitasking.

The R9 3900X offers a significant boost in performance over the i5 7400, similar to switching from a basic model to a high-performance one.
