Need help with Bottlenecking

So, my name is Lheevi, and im getting a Gigabyte r9 290x. And my CPU is the AMD A8-5600K. I also have 8 gigs of 2333 mhz ram, and an asrock motherboard. So my question is, will the bottleneck be in reasonable bounds? I mean, i know there will be a bottleneck, but, im more interested if its still gonna be good enough to still play Battlefield 4 on high 1080p, 60+ fps. Thank you  for the replies :D

agree, I wouldn't try playing any CPU intensive games though.

It will a bit, but not a huge amount. You'll suffer more in multiplayer than single player. 

 

This should give you an idea of what to expect. Your CPU isn't there, but there's similar ones. Should still be over 60FPS though.

I personally wouldn't use anything higher spec than a R9 270 with a A8-5600K. Especially in Battlefield 4, which is CPU-intensive, it would mean a lot of FPS fluctuation, which isn't nice. If you do buy a R9 270, you'll save money, still get 60+ fps on High 1080p with Mantle on.
