Will my i5 4590 bottleneck a vega 56?

You should be fine. The 1070 ish performance range is where that CPU tops out though, so an upgrade to a haswell i7 would also benefit you, like a 4770k

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Yes. My i5 6600 was bottlenecking my 480 in overwatch, so I got an i7. I couldn't maintain 144 fps even with everything on low. It'll be even worse for you.

Something's wrong with your PC, big time!

I have an i5 4690k with an R9 390 and my overwatch is maxed at 120fps (using FRTC) on High settings. My old GTX 970 ran overwatch at 80+ Fps.

My wife's PC is an i5 6500 (non K) with a GTX 970 and she's always at 60fps (limits of her monitor) on High preset.

max at 120fps is not the same as getting min 144fps. at that fps you're usually cpu limited.

i just wanted to say i have no problem at not reaching 144fps i am gonna upgrade my cpu next year anyway. My only question is just will my cpu bottleneck the vega 56 to a point where i cant play at 80fps or 60 fps 

It really depends on what games you are playing. Maybe try to list the games, then the performance of cpus in those games can be checked. Some games really don't mind about the cpu and some hog it hard. Good example of this are games like cities skylines where you fps is pretty much tied to the cpu once you city gets to a certain size. Same applies for other simulation games like that. But for FPS like battlefield you can get away with much slower cpus as most of the work is not using the cpu.

60 FPS with highest details is not unreasonable for this CPU/GPU combo.

Really shouldn't be unreasonable. I can play BF1 maxed out at 1080p on a 5 year old R9 290 and 3rd gen intel. If vega can't do 1440p on a gen newer cpu then somehing is wrong. I used to play bf4 at 1440p maxed out and still got 60fps most of the time. You will have no problem.

 

Do have a look around before you buy. I have seen some places where vega 64 is actually cheaper than 56! so don't just assume 56 is cheaper.
