I want to do a build with a Pentium G4400 but I have heard that it can be a major bottle neck any recommendations?

Arma 3, GTA V and Rust. All I want is medium settings, 1080p and 60fps

Guess a Rx 470 would work fine enough since it's way better than the 1050 and blows the 460 to another dimension

Ok thank you I was thinking about either the rx 480 or maybe the 1050 but the 480 is a little pricey, so I guess it's the perfect balance.

That cpu would hold back the 480 a bit

my recommendation is to save money for an i3 at least and get a good gpu (such as 470 or 480) for avoid any "noticeable" bottleneck...

Remember to quote me (or someone else), otherwise we won't going to recieve your answers...

A Pentium with strictly two cores is going to cause stuttering in those games because they're all significantly CPU-intensive.

 

Best bet would be to go for something like the i3 6100 if possible.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Spoiler

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K - 4.5 GHz | Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VII HERO | RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 | SSD: Samsung 850 EVO - 500GB | GPU: MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6GB | PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2 | Case: NZXT Phantom 530 | Cooling: CRYORIG R1 Ultimate | Monitor: ASUS ROG Swift PG279Q | Peripherals: Corsair Vengeance K70 and Razer DeathAdder

Uh that CPU will hold you back more than you imagine because it's a dual core. I would have saved a bit to get an older used i5 4th gen or if you can't wait, a new i3 but a pentium is definitely going to bottleneck a 470 sadly.
