Wondering if there will be a problem if I buy a GTX 970

So I have a 2600k in which I set the clock speeds back to stock not long ago and I plan on keeping it that way for a while until I feel like repasting it. Not that it's overheating or anything, I just want to put better paste than what's on there at the moment. Anyway I'll cut to the chase, I want to buy an EVGA GTX 970 FTW+ and was wondering if having this CPU would be bottlenecking anything? I currently have a GTX 670 FTW edition and I'm planning on selling it as soon as I get my hands on the 970. It's been good to me and still runs perfectly fine, I'm just a graphics snob and I've had it for about 3.5 years so It's time for me to upgrade soon.
 


Alright, that's good thanks. I was considering to upgrade my mobo and cpu because of this but I guess I don't have to.
