Will an i5 4590 bottleneck a r9 380?

Hi, I am building a budget gaming pc and I am going with the r9 380 4gb and a i5 4590, but I was wondering if the i5 4590 would bottleneck a r9 380? any advice? also if it does bottleneck give me some other options of CPUs to buy like the i5 4460! Thank for the help!

There is no bottleneck there, the i5 is more than enough.
However, if you are building new get a skylake motherboard with an i5 6500.

Not a chance. A i3 will not bottleneck that GPU. You are all good to go. Make sure you get a LGA1150 Motherboard and not a LGA1151 motherboard.

thank! I have decided to go with the r9 380 4gb with an i5 4590. The motherboard will be the ASRock H97 Anniversary!

P.S. How will these parts preform??

Depends on the work loads, but the processor is very capable for gaming and the 380 is well suited for high settings in nearly any game.

No bottleneck you are good to go but make sure you are getting a decent amount of ram as well
