At what point will my CPU be a bottleneck?

I have an Intel Pentium G2030 Cpu. It is a Dual Core 3Ghz. At what point will I need a new Cpu to keep up with a graphics card eg: What would be a good GPU to pair it with?

RX480- 460. Probably. Think that will bottleneck any gtx gpu from 10 series that isn't 1050.

CPU becomes a bottleneck the moment you take it out of the package.

Intel Xeon E5 1650 v3 @ 3.5GHz 6C:12T / CM212 Evo / Asus X99 Deluxe / 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 3000 Trident-Z / Samsung 850 Pro 256GB / Intel 335 240GB / WD Red 2 & 3TB / Antec 850w / RTX 2070 / Win10 Pro x64

Keep it to the lower end, especially without hyper threading I would stick to a RX 470 or a 1050 TI. (BTW RX 480 outperforms the 1060 in a few more titles than it had before thanks to the new drivers so anything under a 1060 you will be fine.) Also take in consideration what PSU you own, i'm just assuming that if you have a lowish end CPU your PSU game may not be capable of powering some GPU's.

1050 ti or a 750 ti would be best to pair with that cpu the 470 will be bottlenecked
