Yes it absolutely will, that is if you play CPU intense games. I got it thinking that I wouldn't have a bottleneck, however I've come to find that in all the recent total wars in bottlenecks it, in Arma it bottlenecks it, in Warband it bottlenecks it. I wouldn't doubt it would bottleneck it in many other CPU leaning games as well. I'm amazed at how nobody mentions this....(I wonder if they have an i5 4590 and an rx 480....)
