Will be playing Witcher 3, Witcher 3 expansions and Shadow of Mordor. Budget is a bit tight right now and i'm planning to upgrade my GPU first.

Yes mate - pretty badly too IMO.
Not a good enough reason not to buy one though , you'll be able to max graphics settings but don't expect fps in excess of the mid 40's.
Yes, it will most definitely bottle neck the 1060. APUs aren't very good processors. They are meant for light gaming at low settings. You will see an improvement and you can always upgrade everything else later on, in a few months when the gen processors come out, and enjoy a small fps increase for the time being.
