if I were to buy a gtx 970 would I see a large gain in performance or should I save money and live out the life of my gpu? Would my cpu bottlekneck the 970? How far could I oc my cpu with my motherboard?
Btw I try to play @60hz 1080p with only one monitor

You probably won't see that much of an increase in performance. Unless you're playing games at 1440p or 4k, the current card you have should be able to play almost every game out there at 1080p, 60 fps on high/ultra settings. I'd say maybe hold off until the next generation of Cards. If your card was of a lower end such as the R9 270X then it would be a noticeable difference.
