The i3 might bottleneck the GTX 1060 a little bit, but it wont be terribly bad. If you want to upgrade you can go for an i5 4460, without having to upgrade your motherboard and that wont bottleneck it.

I honestly hate the phrase bottleneck, as its a very irrelevant term. Will your cpu limit the gpu? sure. Will it be noticeable?  not necessarily. You could get away with it in most games, and maybe some you would notice a little bit of a frame drop. If you can afford it, upgrade to a quad core. if you cant, no big deal.

Bottleneck always occur even in a high end gaming pc.
the question is that, is it noticeable?
because one user to another will give a different answer.

but for the answer. its yes. your cpu will bottleneck the gpu.
but it wont kill your framerate.

Thank you all for your fast replies,considering what you are saying i was thinking about buying the gpu first,test it for a bit and if the problem is big with framedrops etc i am gonna sell the i3 and upgrade to i5-4690. do you agree with that? 

The b85-pro gamer is gonna be fine with the cpu(i5)-gpu combo?

Yes and yes.

 

If the GTX 1060 will be bottlenecked or if it will stutter depends a lot on the game, so I would just try it out. And the GPU will work just fine in that motherboard, as well as the i5 4690
