Actually, you bring up a question that has been bugging me lately.
How do you calculate where a potential bottleneck will be?
My setup is a X570, 32GB DDR4, Ryzen 7 3700x, RTX 2070 Super, and gazillions of TB of storage on stuff don't worry about it.
Right now, I can max the GPU no problem. CPU is getting there depending on what I play. RAM I have no idea how it affects game performance just everything else I do.
Is there a formula? Can I just upgrade to a 4080 Ti Super if it fits in my case and power supply? Or do I need to spend the extra 1500 updating everything else
I had a Ryzen 7 1700 with a 2070 non-super until earlier this year with next to no problems. The only reason I went to a 7800x3d was because it was bottlenecking the software I used to make music.
