I want to upgrade my GPU for games that will come in near future like Black Dessert and others also for my heavenly modified Skyrim
As is said in title I want to change my GTX 760 for an Gtx 970
Is it worth it?
I will get significant boost to performance ?
Is it compatible ? No bottleneck because of CPU ?


Corsair Builder Series CX600 - 600 Watt
Team Group Vulcan Series Gold, DDR3-1600, CL9 - 8 GB Kit
Intel Core i5-4430 3,0 GHz (Haswell) Sockel 1150
ASUS B85-Plus, Intel B85 Mainboard - Sockel 1150
Inno3D GeForce GTX 760 HerculeZ 2000S, 2048 MB DDR5, DP, HDMI
 
Solution
Yes GTX 970 will give you almost double the FPS you are getting now with the gtx 760 and your system is just fine no bottlenecks at all.
