Rig upgrade. Does my cpu bottle neck the gpu ?

So my PC rig right now is this

I5 4440

gtx 970

8GB of dd3ram (corsair)

1tb of hdd and 256gb sata 3 ssd

550w PSU Corsair 

I want to buy a new rtx 2060 to replace the 970 and get another 8gb of ddr3. Will the i5 4440 bottleneck my 2060 ?. Is a 4 core 8 thread cpu so it should still be good right ? I think it is still decent. Game that i play right now are, Mass Effect Andromeda, Resident Evil 2 remake and I want a smooth 60 fps + at 1080p. Other casual game are LOL and CS Go which doesn't matter.

Mainboard:ROG-STRIX-B360-G-GAMING/Cpu:I5 8400 /Gpu: Galax RTX 2070 /Ram: Corsair Vengeance 16 GB DDR4/ Storage:1TB HDD 2 Corsair SSD PSU : Corsair 550W/Cooling: Silverstone Air Cooler/ / Case : Corsair/Keyboard:Razer Chroma TKL/Mouse:Mionix Castor+Steelseries Qck Mass/Headphone:V Moda M100

It may bottleneck a little bit in the newest of new games. It's a 4c/4t chip btw, no hyperthreading on i5's. 99% of the time it will probably be just fine tho

CPU: INTEL Core i7 4790k @ 4.7Ghz - Cooling: NZXT Kraken X61 - Mobo: Gigabyte Z97X SLI - RAM: 16GB G.Skill Ares 2400mhz - GPU: AMD Sapphire Nitro R9 Fury 4G - Case: Phanteks P350X - PSU: EVGA 750GQ - Storage: WD Black 1TB - Fans: 2x Noctua NF-P14s (Push) / 2x Corsair AF140 (Pull) / 3x Corsair AF120 (Exhaust) - Keyboard: Corsair K70 Cherry MX Red - Mouse: Razer Deathadder Chroma

Bit of an AMD fan I suppose. I don't bias my replies to anything however, I just prefer AMD and their products. Buy whatever the H*CK you want.

Yeah it will be fine until you upgrade in that case. My i7 4790k isn't massively better than your i5 and it holds up well.
