So I just bought a pc with an i5 4690. It says that it has an operating frequency of 3.5 ghz and has a turbo frequency of 3.9 ghz. Will it go to the turbo boost automatically when it needs the extra power, or will I have to change the setting automatically? Also, will an i5 4690 bottleneck an r9 290?

I also had one other random question. Which pc would perform better on a game like CS GO and a game like BF4?

Intel i5 4690 and amd r9 290
Intel i7 4770k(no overclock) and gtx 770

Hope you can help!

 
Solution
t3naci0ust is absolutely correct. A 4690 is a very very nice gaming CPU. It won't bottleneck any single GPU on the market. You would even be fine with at least two 280x's without bottlenecking I would think.
