Hello! Your plan sounds exciting. The CPU you're considering, an overclocked i7 2600, should handle the GTX 1650 well, especially with proper cooling and tuning. As for the GPU, the INNO3D GeForce GTX 1650 4GB GDDR5 Twin X2 OC is a solid choice for your budget. The GTX 1650 offers better performance compared to the GTX 1050 Ti in most scenarios.
Ostensibly equal. Are you going to be doing BCLK overclocking? I doubt you'd be able to get a decent enough performance boost to change whether or not you're being bottlenecked. We still have to know the performance target and the games you'll be playing to tell you if you have a bottleneck.
The quickest GPU during Intel’s quad-core period (before Ryzen arrived) was the 1080Ti. Although Sandy Bridge slightly reduces its speed compared to earlier models, it remains adequate for most games since they can adjust their settings. You won’t reach peak performance on the latest games, but at that level it was unlikely to happen.
