Some help please

[zindan]

Hi, my specs are

CPU: Intel core i5 4670k
GPU: R9 270x sapphire dual x 2gb factory OC
Mother board: 

Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 ATX

 RAM: Vengance 8gb

I am planning on changing the gpu to Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6gb ASUS Windforce will my processor bottleneck the gpu?

depends on the game, generally no. get a rx480 its cheaper while delivering similar to better performance. 

[SenorDonut]

No, you should be fine

[harrybamber8]

No it wouldnt

[minibois]

No it won't. Look into the RX 480 GPU too, pretty compelling offer for the price. Most games are performing better for roughly the same price, although there supposedly is going to be an Nvidia update that makes the GPU perform better

[Enderman]

Not that much, you will still get a big performance improvement with the 1060.

Why not this one: https://www.netonnet.se/art/komponenter/grafikkort/amd/msi-radeon-rx-470-gaming-x-8g/240732.8988/

It is basicly the same but 50$ cheaper.

its is a sweetspot, if you can afford extra 50 i suggest you go for the 480.
