Only in poorly optimized game engines where your r9 290 is overkill. There are lot's of games like this, especially older ones and MMORPGs.

But in games like Assassins Creed Unity, GTA 5, Far Cry 4, Tomb Raider.... etc i will have?
 


Those are mostly GPU dependent games. GTA5 we don't know yet, but if it is like 4, then it will be a CPU choker.

Ok, i got it, it's nothing to be worry, right?

 


Nothing to lose sleep over. Depending on the application, there's always a weakest link. No bottleneck would mean that your CPU, GPU and RAM are all working 100%, and that is never true.
