Bottlenecks happen with all CPU's, depending on the game. It just may not be a big deal. The AMD CPU's like the ones you are talking about, are slower than Intel versions, but they aren't terrible in most games, but in some games, usually ones that aren't well threaded, Intel does a lot better.

You should be just fine. Although dropping $500 on a GPU of that sort and only getting a $150 CPU is not a great idea. Maybe push for a 8350 like "u_gonna _squeal" said", or maybe go intel.

Keep in mind, if you OC that 8350 to the same clocks as the 9590, it'll need a good motherboard as well, as you will be increasing its TDP in the process.

just get the 8350, not the 9xxx cpu's. the 9xxx cpu's require watercooling i believe, 220w of power so psu requirements are also through the roof. amd's 9xxx cpu's are the most stupid cpu since the p4 extreme edition. overpriced, overclocked, under-performing. Wouldnt bother changing motherboards for overclocking, may as well just swap to intel if your going to spend that much money.
