i5 bottleneck a low end graphics card?

Well I have decided to upgrade my system. I've had it since 2011. So I've bought an ASRock B450 PRO 4 motherboard, a Ryzen 5 2600 CPU and 2x 16GB of cheap 2133mhz DDR4. My old system was an i5-2500k @ 4.3 with a Gigabyte Z77-D3H motherboard and 4x 4GB of DDR3. I've had a look on eBay and £ 100 seems a fair price for my old CPU, Motherboard and RAM.

The real question is what games are you intending to play? The battlefield games like more cores, but you will still be primarily gpu limited.

In general an i5 is a good match for that gpu and you'll be fine as long as you accept the limitations and adjust your settings accordingly.
