I built my PC and now I'm having some issue so I wanted to confirm something before upgrading my Pc.
Specs:
Ryzen 5 3500
GIGABYTE RTX 2060 Super
Asus Prime B450M
Corsair Vengeance C16 8GB 3200MHz
Cooler Master 600W +80 Bronze SMPS.

Is there any chances of bottleneck in this rig?

Imo forget about R5 3500 and try to do anything to buy R5 3600 in case of hyperthreading. It's quite easier to add RAM to your rig than changing the CPU to better one. 8GB of RAM it's minimum to have the PC well operating in basic things and gaming. And if it's possbile try to find some alternate to your PSU with 80+ Gold certificate. TBH it's only electronics so power supply is a heart of your rig and don't forget about it.

8GB is low for gaming, and to a certain extent single-channel.
That is the obvious standout to me, though a CPU upgrade later could offer some benefit too.

If it's only 1x8 there's the bottleneck. Ryzen needs Dual Chanel. And 8GB is low for most modern games.
Ryzen 5 3500 runs 6 cores without SMT (6 threads). It's like a Ryzen 5 3400G for those that do not know about the model (3400G has 4 cores with SMT, 8 threads). It's sufficient for the RTX 2060S, especially if you're running 1440p. Might be a tiny bottleneck on 1080p though, but nothing serious.

Only 8gb total or 2 x8gb sticks? If one, that would be my concern
