I'm looking to buy the ASUS GTX 960 Strix, what CPU should I have at a minimum to avoid bottlenecking the GPU ?

a better question is what cpu is going to get a 60fps minimum in the games you're playing. Above that and assuming that you don't have a 144fps monitor it doesn't matter and so you can get a cpu that bottlenecks it at low settings but then just turn the graphics settings up until they are evenly matched.
