Will the i3 4150 bottleneck a GTX 770? if so would it be too bad?

I´m building a mini itx rig and i really don´t wanna go AMD, i have already asked a couple questions here but cant seem to make up my mind.

More about : 4150 bottleneck gtx 770

It al ldepends on the game. In some games, no, in others, yes decently badly.

But I would still get over 60 frames per second on CPU bound games right?

The i3 will be a temporary placeholder untill I can get an i5 I just dont want terrible performance in the meantime.

As a placeholder it will be fine.

To answer the first question. No. In some games it will be a bottleneck. A gtx770 can't max everything at 1080p 60fps even with a top of the line CPU. Most things, yes. But all games, no.

In BF4 multiplayer for example the dual core CPU will hurt pretty badly as BF4 multiplayer REALLY is coded for 4 cores. But a game like Farcry3 that is WAY more GPU bound than CPU bound, an i3 should only be 1-5fps worse than an i5.

I have found something pretty interesting, check this out:

Seems like the i3 4130 would do pretty good on BF4 at least looks like there´s not that much of a bottleneck.

looking at these numbers I think Im gonna go with the 770 and the 4150 since the bottleneck seems kinda minimal.

Thanks for your help anyways. :)
