Will my GPU cause bottlenecks with my CPU?

Hey, guys. I just wanted to ask if I would get bottlenecks with my Core i5 4690K @ 3.5Ghz with an EVGA GTX-960 Super-SuperClocked with 2GB. Thanks beforehand.

your GPU will be the bottleneck for sure, but thats how it should be, a CPU bottleneck is more difficult to reduce.

So, will it cause bottlenecks? Also, what other GPU's would you recommend to avoid this?

There will always be a bottleneck, you can reduce it, but there always will be a bottleneck whether it be CPU, GPU, RAM, MOBO, ETC.
Personally, the only Nvidia GPUs I would buy are the gtx 970, or 980. AMD just rocks the market in terms of price/performance. an R9 280-280x can be had for about the same price, or even cheaper than gtx 960, and it will perform the same and better since it has 3gb vram, OCs very well, and the bus width it 3x larger than the 960's.

If you have a low wattage psu, a 960, might be worth the price premium.
