I'm thinking of upgrading my system ( i3 6100, GTX 1050 Ti from Gigabyte, 8 GB RAM DDR4, Gigabyte H110M-S2H Mobo, 1 TB HDD, and 450 W PSU From Corsair ) to an AMD Ryzen 5 1600, because I'm doing gaming videos on Youtube and some streams
But I found today that GTX 1050 Ti is bottlenecking the 1600...
So, is it true ( because, from where I read, there were answers like "yes" and "no" ) that 1050 Ti is bottlenecking, so I need a 1500X instead, or this pairing, that I want to do, have no problems?

Edit 1: Now I have the 1600 :)))), but the problem is that in Task Manager, and in CPU ID, is showing me half the cores, threads and cache memory. What am I supposed to do now?

If you are wondering if you will have performance issues using a GTX 1050 Ti with a Ryzen 1600, no. No more than you would using it with the i3-6100. The 1050 Ti will be the weak link in the CPU vs GPU matchup, yes. The 1600 can handle faster cards when you are ready to upgrade.

A 1600 is not going to bottleneck a 1050 ti in any game that I am aware of. A bottleneck is simply the limiting component in your build there is always a bottleneck somewhere, you ideally want that to be the GPU for say gaming.

The 1600 is a fine pairing with a 1050 ti and could likely handle a more powerful GPU than that should you choose to upgrade in the future.

The 1050ti technically won't utilize the 1600 fully, at least in most situations. Unless you've got a 144hz monitor, and play more CPU-heavy games. But as you mentioned you'll be doing streaming/recording, you'd naturally want some CPU headroom during normal gaming.

A 1500X may be satisfactory, however. You certainly won't see a drop in FPS. There's also plenty of good CPUs available for the LGA1151 socket.

What the heck!?
The Ryzen 5 1600 wont bottleneck a GTX 1050 TI.
As Dunlop0078 said, the Ryzen 5 1600 can handle a more powerful GPU without any problems and bottleneck.
The Ryzen 5 1500X is slower than the 5 1600 because the 5 1500X has 4 cores and 8 threads, the 5 1600 has 6 cores and 12 threads.
Short answer: No bottleneck.

Yeah, I know that 1600 is powerful, but I asked IF THE 1050 Ti is bottlenecking, not the CPU, because this is what I have read on some forums :)))
