important Processor question

[Void2104]

im planning to get a GeForce 980 reference with a i5 4570 3.2ghz processor the question is will the cpu bottleneck the gpu?because I think it's one of the older processors.

you won't see any issues with that.
bottlenecking is only an issue when a real old cpu (think core 2 duo type "old" cpu) is paired with a high end gpu. the 4570 is plenty good enough to keep up with the 980.

Math Geek is right, your CPU will not bottleneck the card. As previously said, the CPU has to be really quite old.

older? did intel already release 5xxx gen CPU for mainstream socket?
