What is your opinion on the i5 4460 CPU for gaming at 1080p?

I'm building a new rig soon and am seriously considering it. I'm looking forward to pair it with a 970 - would there be any bottleneck due to my choice of CPU? I'm pretty confident that the GTX 970 is a strong card and it can run today's games without issue at high/ultra settings, but what about the CPU? Can it too max today's titles out?

I'm not exactly on a budget and could spare for a slightly better CPU, though I'd rather not if this one won't damage my performance. If it does, though, what do you guys recommend as a CPU to
be paired with the 970?
