Probably not, but you can find out for yourself by using hardware monitoring program like MSI Afteruburner's On-Screen Display to monitor CPU and GPU usage while in-game. See if your GPU usage falls significantly while CPU usage is at 100% (also checking to see if frame rate drops). If it does you could benefit from a faster CPU. If your GPU pretty much stays maxed out at 99% then you won't gain much from a faster CPU.

If CPU and GPU both fall below 99% usage then the game is just not optimized well enough to keep them at full usage, or it's just a part of the game that doesn't need full usage.

Here's a system like yours playing PUBG with the on-screen display. It seems like a well balanced system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSnRZ2HLHOA

so no point in upgrading to another gpu that also wont bottlneck the cpu?
 


You can still gain some performance from a GPU upgrade. Typically a GTX 1060 will do well enough. But you may find some games that your G4600 would be a limiting factor.
