hello, im building a new pc with intel i5, and i was wondering if a i5 4460 is still enough of gaming.
i´ll mostly play battlefield 4, and overwatch. im putting the i5 4460 with a gtx 770.
these are the specs.

cpu: intel i5 4460
gpu: zotac gtx 770 amp!
motherboard: Msi B150m Pro-vdh
ram: 2x4gb kingstone
and a generic 500 watts psu.

questions
1- will i get bottlenecked if i get a gtx 970 instead of a gtx 770?
2- is that 500w psu enough even if i get a 970?
3- is that motherboard good enough?

sorry for my bad english, im from argentina.

The i5 6500 is the new equivalent and considered the best available CPU at the moment ; and the performance difference is marginal. So yeah, it's still pretty good.

No worries of bottlenecks, you can easily go up to 1070 tier

500W is fine. Generic is worrying.

Motherboards have no direct influence ; it's features that count.
