The 4590 is one of the best gaming CPU's, you could run a high end Sli setup if you wanted. To be honest the 760 is a little weak to be paired with it, for gaming you would be better balanced with a lower CPU and higher GPU


can you give suggestions for cpu for GTX 760?


If it was mine I would put a 4460 in it and use the extra money for a better GPU. For gaming the 4590 is a high end CPU but the 760 is a entry/mid range GPU.





Thanks for your info..:)

Its really not. Its a locked processor that will easily bottleneck in games like planetside 2 and BF4. I have a 4670k @ 4.5ghz and if I go to stock speeds my framerates drop pretty substantially on a 770, and also on my new 780ti.

No your processor is enough for any card available in the market without bottlenecking it.
