CPU Bottleneck Inquiry

Solution
enough to make it work like a ryzen

remember that bottleneck is just the inability of one of two parts to work as fast as the other, so some possible potential is wasted

that cpu is old and not powerfiol, overclocking it should help a bit but not much

in the first place you should be using it and then if you decide that the results in frames per second are not what you want, you could see how much is the gpu being used and the cpu, if cpu is being used 100% and gpu only 50, well, overclock as much as you can and pray your motherboard and psu can handle it

in the end, the real solution is just accept the cpu and gpu as they work now, or buy a new mainboard, cpu and ram, something more recent, like rizen

Bottlenecking is inevitable. Bottlenecking should not be a concern as long as you look at each part individually.

Any CPU can bottleneck and GPU if the conditions are right. Yes, even an i7 7700k with an RX 550.

I assume you have chosen the RX 580 for a 1080p 60hz experience within AAA games. All you need to do is overclock your CPU until it reaches the performance of 60FPS or higher within those games.
