I'm currently using an EGPU setup with a EVGA GTX 1060 3gb version, connected to a lenovo light gaming laptop that had a gt630m. I have the gpu connected with a EXP GDC Beast V8.0 mini pcie connection and a 500w 80+ bronze certified evga power supply. Obviously I'm getting bottle necked by my processor (old intel i7 max 2.9 ghz) and I'm looking to build a cheap rig that will run games like GTA V 50 - 70 fps. And Esport games like cs go over 100. My rig currently runs GTA V at 35 - 45 fps with peaks into the 70s and sometimes dips into the low 30s (online). So MY MAIN question is will a Pentium G4600 pair well with 8 gigs of ddr3 1600 mhz ram, 1 tb hard drive (don't care about boot speeds) and a gtx 1060 3gb, and be able to run games like GTA V at high (some very high and some medium compromises) with 50 - 70 fps?
Note: All in 1920x1080p
Does the Intel pentium G4600 pair well with these pc parts?

No. It's not compatible with DDR3 RAM. You could get an LGA1151 board that supports DDR3, but it will be a Skylake chipset and you will likely have to update the BIOS (which requires a Skylake CPU) before the motherboard can recognize it. You'll need DDR4 instead.
