I'm planning on basically upgrading my pc from what I have now which is 

i3 6100 

power color rx480 4gb

450w bronze evga 

8gb ddr4 vengeance lpx

msi h110 mobo

 

what I will be upgrading to will be

i7 4790k

z97 mobo

8gb ddr3 ram

rx 480 4gb 

450w powersupply 

cryorig h7 CPU fan

 

I was wondering if my rx 480 that I was transferring to the other mobo would bottleneck

1. Budget?

2. What games do you play, at what res? The RX480 shouldn't bottleneck at 1080p. Though you could probs sell/trade it for a 980 Ti or maybe a 1070.

Why are you "upgrading" to an obsolete platform? The products tend to hold their value so would it really be that much more expensive to move to a current platform? (B350, X370, Z270)

The i3 isn't performing as well as I had hoped and I play games that are more CPU intensive like battlegrounds, and h1z1.

A friend of mine had also given me this CPU as a gift and I wouldn't want to have it go to waste

Then use the i3 to update the BIOS and buy an i7 7700.
