i5-4590 Bottleneck?

[bhcool12]

I am running an i5-4590 and a r9 390. Would these bottleneck each other? I am noticing a lot of frame rate drops while playing GTA V and Arkham City among other games that I play. They ususally cap out at around 60 but at certain times it drops all the way to around 45. I am sure I have the latest drivers, could there be anything that is stunting my performance? Here is my full build http://pcpartpicker.com/list/DR2FRB

It shouldn't be bottlenecking. What are temperatures?

During a run, maybe keep an eye on the temps, see if anything is throttling.

While you are playing games is your GPU usage 100%?

If GPU usage is above 90% while gaming you're golden

It shouldn't, I have i5 4570 with OCed 290x and never had an issue with GPU utilization or throttling, performance was always stable . I do run my cpu at full turbo speeds all the time tho

When you come back from vacation install msi afterburner and check your gpu and cpu usage during games.
