    "Asus power surge" reboot

    A few weeks ago I upgraded my motherboard and CPU to an Asus Z97-P and i7 4790k. It's been running perfectly ever since, but today I launched a game (I think it was Fallout 4) and my PC instantly turned off for a few seconds before turning back on. After the POST screen I got to a screen like...

    Windows 10 activation.

    Would an i5-4440 bottleneck a GTX 770?

    I have the Intel Core i5 4430S and plans to buy a GTX 770 and the Pentium G3258 and OC that CPU. That may seem odd since its dual core but i use a lot of programs that are sinlge and dual core and there the Pentium rocks! My question is if any of those CPU's will bottleneck the GPU?
