My PC specs are;
AMD A10-7890k Radeon R7, 12 compute Cores 4C+8G 4.10 GHZ
16gb ram DDR3 @ 1600 mhz
GTX 750TI

In fortnite my CPU causes a big bottleneck CPU usage is 100% where as GPU is 80%

I thought buying a 750ti wouldn't cause a bottleneck with the APU as its pretty low end. Is this the games fault or just a normal bottleneck?

There is no such thing as "bottlenecking"
If, by that, you mean that upgrading a cpu or graphics card can
somehow lower your performance or FPS.
A better term might be limiting factor.
That is where adding more cpu or gpu becomes increasingly
less effective.

Your GTX750ti is a big jump in capability over the integrated graphics.
If you did not see an improvement, it is because you have a low end processor.
In any gaming pc, one or the other will be limiting your performance.

If you are unhappy with your gaming performance, what are you going to do about it?

How do you figure that is "a big bottleneck " ?
That is reasonably balanced.

What is your definition of 'bottleneck'?

All components work to their fullest, until you reach desired fps (like 60 with vsync) or untill one of them will be weaker.
100/80 is a good ratio where really most of the resources is utilized, especially on a cpu intensive game.
If you turn on lets say crysis, you will end up with 80/100 ratios because all games use different cpu to gpu ratios.
if you are concerend and or want to squeeze a bit more from the cpu, try to repaste it with better cooling or change the cooler for beefier one.
IMHO, this holds.
its not a bottleneck, mostly it would be a RTX2070 for this cpu, where cpu is 100 and gpu is 20/30/40% load, and you have no way to ultilize it.
