No actually that gpu might bottleneck your cpu :D not much i had same cpu and r9 380 and well ny cpu only bottlenecked slightly so you shouldn't have a problem but i5 4th gen are cheap on used market get one if you have money to spend 4 cores are a nice inprovement in entire system performance

hello freinds..

i have a budget gaming rig consisting of a

1-i3-4160 3.6HZ 2 xCORES (4 threads)=120 GFOPS

2-R7-360 Overclocked at 1200 mhz = 1.8 Tflops 

3-8 GB DUAL CHANNEL DDR3 RAM

MY question is will my cpu bottleneck my gpu while playing modern games.

For a record i have posted mt aida64 benchmark pic below and also,according to the values of FLOPS,my cpu,gpu are similar to ps4's Cpu,gpu performance..

please advice..
