This is my new build, 

The i5-8600k is overclocked to 5.0 Hz at 1.335 volts, temps reach 67c, the highest, while playing all day long. The GPU is not overclocked. I built this computer for gaming only, games I play are WOW, LOL, CS,GO, COD-WWII, Battlefield 1 and 5, The Disivion 2, Diablo 3, Starcraft, Rainbow Six Siege, Assassin's Creed Syndicate just to name a few. So far I have been able to hit 100 plus FPS in all those games at high to ultra settings. The question I have is, would the i7-8700k be a better fit for this build? The I5-8600k is working just fine but BOTTLENECK PC has it at a 23% bottleneck for the GPU. Thanks in advance for all your help.

Bottleneck PC is garbage, ignore it. If you're hitting your desired FPS and are happy then you're good. You're not really going to be hitting any bottlenecks unless you're targeting high FPS 1080p, like 200+ FPS.

i dont see a problem here if you're happy with it

 

a system will always have a bottleneck, if not, your fps will be infinite

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

In my opinion I would swap  i5-8600k for AMD Ryzen 5 3600X.

That would require OP to swap out his motherboard as well instead of just dropping a the new processor in. Likely causing him to spend a lot more money than he wants.

 

The 8600k is a good processor. I don't think it would be worth it to swap it out.
