EDIT: Added a z97 motherboard, this makes the build compatible with overclocking.
The GPU I selected is quite good and will run the latest games in med/high settings depending on the game, maybe even ultra in some games.

H81 boards don't have overclocking feature, The G3258 is crap without being over clocked. You need a Z97 motherboard

Not overly, only in the most cpu-intensive games. In most of the latest games, no it won't really bottleneck it if you overclock to around 4ghz or higher.

I improved the build to better accomodate the OC, by picking a good cpu cooler and by getting a better MOBO, had to drop the gpu to a 270X though
