i5 4460 bottleneck?

[Linney]

So I've more or less decided to go with the r9 290 for my build, and I'm wondering if an i5 4460 would become a bottleneck. The reason I chose the 4460 instead of 4690k is simply to cut costs. This is the build im thinking of going with: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FcbpRB (I have a 750w power supply already) the budget is kinda maxed out as it is, so if I was gonna get the 4690k I'd have to cut down on something else. So should I upgrade the cpu? Or will it be fine?

[Jobbe03]

Nope

[AlwaysFSX]

Nopers, it won't.

Great! Thanks for the quick reply!

If you live anywhere near a Micro Center you can pickup (in store purchase only) an i5-4590 for US$160.

 

You can shave a few dollars moving to mATX and going with a 2x4GB memory kit. The memory kit has the added advantage of dual channel memory operation.

There is no bottle neck on a 4th gen core i5.

try not to worry about bottlenecks until you go into lower end territory, definitely not a 4th gen i5 though

An i5-4460 is a great gaming CPU that will handle any graphics card you throw at it really well.

Intel CPUs have such good IPC the different tiers of i5 don't even matter in gaming.

I have a classmate running a 4460 with a GTX 970 from MSI it's working fine

 

so no it won't bottleneck

 

I'm running a G3258 at 4.6GHz with a Sapphire Vapour X R9 290X on a Gigabyte H97n- Wifi

no bottleneck so far
