I want to buy a dedicated graphics card since the integrated graphics on my Ryzen 3 3200g are falling short, I have my eyes on the RX 6600 but I don't know if my current CPU will bottleneck the GPU and I am kinda scared of upgrading it because I've heard horror stories of coolers coming out with the CPU and I'm new to the custom pc scene. Will there be any significant bottleneck? (Significant enough to upgrade)

The first thing you most look at when upgrading the GPU is whether your PSU is strong enough to support it.

According to AMD you must have at least a minimum PSU of 500 Watts. I suggest a PSU of at least 850 Watts Metal rated PSU if within your budget.
