It will be bottlenecked, yes. Go for the RX 460

Which i3 is that?

And also, we don't have enough info yet to be sure. My guess is that in some games it won't, but in most games, especially more CPU bound games, your CPU might bottleneck.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

See if you can swap it out for a used i5/i7, then get the 470. Otherwise, 460.

I3 2120 like another person said. Should I go with a rx 460?

I feel like you might want to wait until they are actually released so we can see how powerful they are then decide :)

Spend more money than what OP might have wanted just to remove bottleneck? This is why worrying about bottleneck is stupid. You will never get rid of bottlenecks, no matter how much you try.
