Is this system bottlenecked?

Also,i read that RTX 2080(thebottlenecker.com,i can only see 2080 only) needs 32 gb to work well.Do 2070 needs 32 GB too?If i don't have 32,will it affect performance? I have 16.
 
No . Emphatically no, that computer is Beyond adequate for any task
 
what resolution are you running and what ram speed are you using ?

bullcrap.

kinda slow,but it all depends on what framerate you're targeting and what resolution you're running.
 
This system is the anti bottleneck. Its about as balanced as a system can be. And no you don't need 32 Gb ram

If you were to ask someone to build a system where there is no chance of a bottleneck, this would be the system

In gaming and productivity tasks, you have to ask the following questions to yourself,
is my cpu upto the task in question?
is my gpu upto the task in question?

In simple terms, if your cpu can't handle it, your gpu won't bail you out either.
So you can't be bottlenecked in any case. You can have hardware that isn't upto the task in hand though.
Some call that bottleneck, I call that inadequate hardware.

In answer to your question, besides the lacking of extra threads, your hardware seems upto any task thrown at it atm.
 
No but your powersupply is junk though... I wouldnt want a Chieftec PSU to power such a beautiful system like that.
 
Sell chieftec and buy Antec High Current Gamer HCG-620M.
 
No matter the machine there is always some form of bottleneck so you will never eliminate it completely it is because we are bound by the laws of physics

Yes! I see no mention of RGB anywhere that will help futureproof your PC from bottlenecks.

All those are terrible ones... even the FSP ones are crap. Is there no where else you can pick up something from Tier 2 or 3 from this list??

that tier list is the butt of jokes on jonny guru forums, about as useful as RGB on fans

Im sure theres a better list somewhere but i cant find it. I think it was from overclockers.
 
So then what psu?

the enermax is the "best" of the bunch in terms of reviews, the platform actually passed HARDOCP testing. That said, I wouldn't be shocked if that OEM (its not enermax) has a large list of acceptable part suppliers for the build and the internals may not necessary match the hardocp unit.

Do your homework, don't rely on any list. Mythic voltage regulation in a hot box is fantastic if you are a PSU reviewer or simply enjoy testing PSU in a hot box and receiving mythic voltage regulation.

I personally prefer a PSU that has a good platform, silent fan, tight list of part suppliers, good reviews from trusted sites, and comes from a brand with good customer support.
 
Why it would need more memory?

I'd go with EVGA G2/G3, SuperFlower Leadex or Seasonic Prime/Focus series for the PSU. And you don't need an overkill PSU like many people get.
