    I paired the i5 with a MSI z370 gaming plus mobo and Msi GTX 1660 super with 3200mhz 16gb ddr4. It doesn't bottleneck, the cores are not the fastest at 2.9ghz but their are 6 so it is a definite upgrade from the ryzen 3 2200g I had. I haven't been able to throw anything at it that it can't handle. I play everything from Apex to half life alyx on oculus.
