So currently I have the gtx 750 (not ti) and I've been running it with a cheap i3 3220, it's what I had to start.

I just got a job, so I finally have some money to throw at my pc to make loading programs and such better. I looked around, and I'm thinking about the i5-4590. Will this i5 be bottlenecked by my cheaper gtx 750?

Please only respond if you actually know about computers, I don't want a response like "oh yea man ur good thats a good pc"

CPU is supposed to bottleneck the GPU.
generally, but if you have a 5960k with a gt 620 it's going to bottleneck the cpu.

baccaboy, the i3 would be fine, so why not upgrade your gpu?

Yeah, what I mean is that the CPU should be the limiting component; the GPU shouldn't be restricted by the CPU. Kinda due to the fact that CPU development is much further ahead than GPU development.
