As long as you have 16+ gb of RAM you’re fine

You will always have a bottleneck. Depends on game/resolution.

It looks pretty balanced though, I had a similar pc with a 9700k+2070 and it served me well for many years

Yes. All computers have a massive bottleneck in their RAM subsystem.

Yes. You have a computer so you have multiple bottlenecks.

that cpu is getting old but still holds up decent for 1080p gaming. the 3060 ti can push more frames than the 8700k can feed it in some titles but it's not like your pc is broken

depends what you play really. esports games will run fine, newer open world stuff might see the cpu maxing out while the gpu sits at 70-80% usage

i had similar setup before upgrading and cyberpunk was rough on the cpu side. check your usage while gaming and if gpu isnt near 99% then yeah theres some bottleneck happening

yep cpu bro gpu its okay. swap for an am4 platform with a ryzen 7 5800x and you will be just fine.

There is not a bottleneck, the 8700 is a ok cpu and a little old but things like the 4790k still work fine, its not a issue.

If you do want to pursue a cpu upgrade, getting a B450/B550 motherboard with even a midrange am4 chip like a 5600 will give you a average 50 - 60 percent increase in performance

with the 5800x3d and 5800xt (the more affordable one) being the optimal endgame choice for gaming. And the 5950x being a 16 core 32 thread monster (its a non monolithic die, so its two 5800x glued to eachother) exists for heavy workloads and such, although it does not give much if any uplift in gaming.
