Will the Core i3 4130 bottleneck a single GTX 970?
I'm looking to build a system on the cheap, and I know the GPU is most important. I also know that amateur system designers regularly recommend a CPU far more powerful than is necessary. If you think the GTX 970 needs a Core i7, hit the back button.

If you actually know what you're talking about, or where I could look for the answer to this question, I'd love to hear it!

Depends on the game/app but generally no just your multitasking will not be so great.

Could start with a Pentium and save for a i7 if you can handle some weak multitasking for awhile.
