So i first wanted to get a 5060 and a ryzen 5 7600 now i decided i maybe should rather go ror a 4060 since im on a budget but all those bottleneck websites say different things now i want to know if i play games like cyberpunk or elden ring will i be fine with these two or should i get something else (also i hope i csn play gta 6 on that pc when its out but tthats a different story)
appreciate any help thanks

All bullshit, that’s why they all say different things.
Bottleneck will happen no matter what and changes depending on the games you play, target resolution and FPS, details level, upscaling technologies.
Just buy the best GPU you can afford and don’t think about bottleneck. That R5 7600 won’t bottleneck a 5060, unless you’re planning on playing esport titles at 1000fps.

Ideally pay $70 extra for 9060 XT 16Gb. Great 1440p card, no VRAM bottleneck and FSR 4 support.
If not that, then Intel B580. About the same performance as 5060, but double the VRAM. Suitable for 1440p, unlike 5060 (lacks VRAM).

ngl i was thinking the r5 might be an issue rather than the gpu but thats maybe just the price difference distracting me
You mean the R5 7600 running at 100% and the GPU at low usage?
As I said it’s possible if you want to run the highest FPS possible and you even step up to a 5080 or future AMD equivalent. Situations in which you’ll prioritize CPU performance in games are MMOs, due to the amount of characters on/off screen, turn based games where the computer has to churn through massive decision branches or sim games (not driving sims, something like Flight Simulator or Sim City).
Other than those scenarios, you’ll always be fine and rarely miss having a more powerful CPU.

Not mentioned so far, but it’s probably more important to have maybe at least 32GB of RAM in 2x16GB than worrying about CPU bottlenecking, if you do those open-world stuff. Extra RAM is disk cache, and one of the cheaper ways to make things smoother.
6000C30 kits work just fine for Ryzen 7000, no need for anything fancier.
