That depends on your settings.

1080p60@High details? No.

1080p60@Ultra details? Yes. Likely your CPU.

Even at like 3.4Ghz that CPU would not bottleneck that card in any way. Infact that card would bottleneck that CPU =D

there are always bottlenecks but i don't think it will be very noticeable in this config

I doubt it would bottleneck it. If you notice low GPU usage then you indeed have a bottleneck.

I just bought a GTX 770 and there was a huge bottle neck my 1100T @ 3.7Ghz was holding my GPU back I went out and bought a 8350 and instantly got 20-30FPS better in games. Do a little more research before you buy it. I'm not sure about the Intel side of things but Linus did a video on the GTX 660TI and was benchmarking all the AMD CPU's from the 1100T on up to the FX and there was huge FPS increases when you switched from an 1100T to an 8150. That being said your Intel CPU could handle it but I think we are going to start seeing bottlenecks with the newer GPUs  in combination with older CPUs.
