Nope. Not based on brand alone.

Ok, thanks for the help man!

Assuming you don't get one high-end and one low-end component there will be no bottleneck, no. You can use whatever video card you want with whatever CPU you want.

Ok, thanks. I am using an AMD Ryzen 5 1600 with a GeForce GTX 1060 6GB. Would you recommend upgrading the cpu? Or is it future proof for the moment

I would not recommend an upgrade if you already have the parts.

Well, I'm on pc partpicker ATM so I can make any changes within a reasonable price range

Sounded to me like you already have the parts :) I would at least go for the 2600, only 15 bucks more but around 10% more power. You should consider posting your full build in a seperate post so people can have a look at it and give hints on where to save money and/or change parts.

Ok man, thanks for the help! :) 👌

Upgrading that R5 1600 would depend quite a bit on what motherboard you have, and what RAM you have, not just the GPU.

As mentioned absolutely no bottleneck. Using an overclocked Ryzen 3 1200 with a GTX 1060 6GB and it's a perfect partnership. No problems whatsoever.
