I'm trying to understand the issue with GPU bottleneck.

Since I'm trying to make a "productivity" build, I'm thinking of getting a cpu with more cores. If I have the budget for a CPU that would be overkill. My GPU will be bottlenecked when I game, and there will be a lot left on the table on my CPU. But is this actually bad for my PC and/or performance? Or just bad cause I'm wasting money.

Cause when I do video editing, I would like having those extra cores.

But from my understanding, if my GPU is maxed out when I game, does it really matter if my CPU is bottlenecked by a little bit or by a lot? GPU will be maxed out regardless.?

Or does the CPU and GPU setup have to be balance and fairly "equal" working together in order to perform the best?
