[SOLVED] If I pair an RX480 4GB with an i5-2500, is it going to bottleneck?

Is this a bad idea?

The i5 2500 will likely hold back the RX480 in some instances with demanding modern games, however you should have a good experience overall.

What are the rest of your system specs?

You will want at least 8gb ram to run modern games, and you will also want a quality 450w minimum PSU.
