Will the Intel Arc B580 experience any CPU overhead issues when paired with an Intel Core i5-13400F?

[pahari_shreejit]

Body:
I'm considering building a new system using the Intel Arc B580 GPU, and I'm planning to pair it with the Intel Core i5-13400F.

Given that the i5-13400F is a mid-range CPU with a mix of performance and efficiency cores, would it be enough to keep up with the Arc B580 in most modern games at 1080p?

I'm currently looking to buy the Intel ARC B580, but it's recently gone out of stock at most stores. The few that still have it in stock are now charging $349.
