Solution
If you're going mainly for gaming, a 4590 will do you well as games don't often utilise more than 4 cores. I've had one before. Keep in mind that the graphics card is more useful for gaming than the processor though.

An i5-4590 would barely bottleneck a GTX 1080. It really depends what game it is.

It all depends on budget really? Generally speaking the more you pay the better it'll be obviously.

An rx 480 at 1080p should be fine with an i5 4590, but it's about the minimum you'll get away with. It wont bottleneck a 480 in most games though.
