Yes - the 4130 will bottleneck the 270x - but just a bit.

I think it's a good match, do you already own the i3-4130?

It could be slight bottleneck. For multi core games (that support 2+cores)it can be. Keep in mind that i3 is not for games but more for everyday tasks.

depending on the game whether or not it is very cpu intensive. If you play games such as bf4 64 person multiplayer, star citizen, gta 4 or anything with a lot of AI, the i3 will bottleneck your gpu. But in games that require more gpu horse power such as bioshock infinite, far cry 3, etc, the i3 will run absolutely fine.

There are some benchmarks for a dual core pentium (which your i3 will outperform) vs an i7. So you can expect similar performance.

I use the 270x with i3-3220 with no issues running all kinds of stuff.
