I plan on building a budget PC that will deliver great performance for dollar. I have all the parts selected, but I just wanted to know: If I have a Athlon X4 880K, would it bottleneck the performance of the GTX 950 FTW?

No but you can get the i3 6100, which is better

Nah you'll be fine. Won't give out as many frames as the reviews say, but thu ruviews are done on 6700Ks and 5820Ks and the like, expensive CPUs.

No real bottleneck except maybe on the most CPU intensive games, which can be fixed with a mild overclock. I would recommend an i3 6100 as these have a upgrade path to an i5/i7. 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

My budget is 450(US). No the parts have not been bought yet. This is why I'm asking would the 880K bottleneck my performance, so I know ahead of time.
