There will always be a bottleneck in your system, and where it is depends on a lot of factors. Including what resolution you play at, what games, what kind of graphic settings, etc
Ideally you want your GPU to be the bottleneck. It’s good to have your GPU maxing out. If your CPU is so slow that it doesn’t let you GPU max out, you’d want a better CPU.
14400f + 4060 sounds like a perfectly balanced pair in most scenarios
The only thing that sticks out is the slow RAM, which in turn affects cpu performance. Ideal speed for DDR4 is 3200mhz/3600mhz, whatever is cheaper at the moment. May or may not be a huge deal for you. RAM is expensive and I’m not sure it’s worth the hassle
If you also only have 1 stick of RAM, that’s a big issue for DDR4

That would be the ideal setup today
Making sure XMP is enabled in the BIOS so the RAM actually runs at 3600mhz

Bottleneck just means which component is the slowest in your system. You will always have a bottleneck.
In this case, you have a slow GPU and slow RAM. You could get more performance by upgrading those two parts.
But, you can always spend more money to get more performance. If your system works for you, there's no need to buy anything.

which cpu is the best for rtx 4060
aragorn18@reddit
You already have a good CPU. There's no reason to change your CPU.

what i have to change ?
aragorn18@reddit
From my first reply
WraCKU@reddit (OP)
i can upgrade ram ddr 4 32gb and 3200mhz
aragorn18@reddit
That will help a little bit. The RTX 4060 is still a slow GPU.

if you aren't getting the performance you're looking for then you start looking for the limiting factor and fix it.
Choconolait@reddit
Yes, because it's inevitable. In fact, you actually want to have "a" bottleneck.
Naerven@reddit
Yes every computer ever built has had something limiting it's performance and thus the bottleneck. No it's never really been an issue to worry about.

Ram speeds would bottleneck the CPU, outside of that you would have to tell us what you are doing on the machine, software, settings, etc.

Yes
