My question is will the 1060 be bottleneck by the g3258.I am sick of waiting for rx 480 so I am getting a 1060 but I need to know if g3258 is going to bottleneck everything. It is overclocked to 4.5ghz

Isn't quad core recommended for gaming? If you don't play games that needs multi thread, it should be alright.

In short - yes.

 

In newer titles which are optimised for more than two threads it will be a bottleneck. I'd suggest you upgrade to a 4670K or 4690K to eliminate any bottlenecking.

It will, but it won't be unusable by any means. You can eventually upgrade the CPU though once you have the cash. Second-hand is always an option to save some.

It'll bottleneck really badly in gta5 and other cpu limited games, but other than that it will be fine.  I have a g3248 @4.7, and it's a great little chip, but multi threaded games don't play nicely with the dual core no hyperthreading.

It'll be a HUGE bottleneck in AAA titles. Some games won't even run at all.

 

The G3258 is not a gaming CPU, it's an overclocking toy. Even an Athlon X4 880K would bottleneck the RX480/GTX 1060, and it's around 25%+ faster than the Pentium.

 

Upgrade the CPU. The cheapest upgrade that's worth it would be the i5-4460, though throw a CPU heavy game at it and it's also gonna break. That should be rare though.
