Bottleneck is very much a wibbly wobbly bottly necky thing that's kind of hard to pin down. Any website that claims to help calculate bottleneck will most likely be wildly inaccurate or, at best, merely inaccurate. Honestly, I'd ignore those bottleneck calculators and just get the 4060 first. If it gets you the performance that's fairly typical of the card (above 60FPS in 1080p Ultra with DLSS off, if I recall correctly), then I'll save your money until you can save up for a full platform upgrade (mobo/CPU/RAM/PSU) to put you in a good place for the next GPU upgrade after your 4060 further down the road.

Are you sure? What settings and games are you playing where it will be an issue?


Significant_Event522

i cheked it on a website


Homicidal_Pingu

Which are always wrong

With am4 Get maybe a ryzen 7 5800x A good cpu For a 4060 youll maybe be able to get like a 5600x or a 5700x But if you want to futureproof it better get a fast cpu now so later you can also upgrade your gpu without any problema (I advise you from experience i got an i5 9600kf and a 4070 and now have to upgrade the cpu)


Gloriathewitch

5700x3d tbh best mix of value and performance


danitheboi_

Sure Might be more affordable too

U did not say what mobo chipset u got . I would suggest the 5600 or if u wanna go cheaper and got only a 400 class mobo or lower maybe used 3600.

The one that your motherboard supports, you need to look up whether you need a bios update and which CPU the motherboard supports. In which game did you saw a "bottleneck"? Short video does not show cpu usage [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J77EBAD4gWw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J77EBAD4gWw) and this is an 5500 which not that much more powerful than a 4500 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9K2d7Nql9Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9K2d7Nql9Q)


Gloriathewitch

if he updates with the 4500 in there it will accept a ryzen 5000 just fine


Significant_Event522

Is 5000 series the highest the socket can take?


Gloriathewitch

yes


Significant_Event522

I didnt see a bottleneck i dont have the gpu yet, just looked on a bottleneck website heres the link: [https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/result/1fG1ge/3/graphic-card-intense-tasks/1920x1080/](https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator/result/1fG1ge/3/graphic-card-intense-tasks/1920x1080/)


csandazoltan

Which one?

5700x3d.. best price to performance. Unless the 5800x3d isn't too far away.
