Its fine. It will bottleneck on a couple games. Since you are buying a non-k CPU it seems like you don't want to OC. That's a choice you make and is certainly a respectable one, but getting a OCable CPU and OCing will probably remove this bottleneck. If you aren't comfortable that's fine, just something to think about! About the AMD FX mentioned above, it would be fine as well if you OCed. some games I cannot recommend for it, such as planet side and skyrim, but other then that it would be okay.
