Pentium Bottleneck

hey, guys, I purchased a Pentium G4560 because so many people recommended it to me for a great budget CPU for gaming, I recently found a great deal on a Rx 580 but I was wondering if this slightly underpowered CPU would bottleneck the GPUand if so, how much?

Depends on the program. I would get the GPU IF the deal is good and comes with 8GB. It'll last you for the next two-three years or more if you're okay with lowering AA. 

 

Edit: I'd go for it.

in some games yes, in some no.

BF1 will definitely bottleneck, but others probably won't

RX 470/570 is a perfect fit, but RX 580/480 won't be bad at all

580 doesn't bottleneck too much with the G4560, check Hardware Unboxed's video on the topic. 

idk
