I have an Intel i5-4690K and I was planning on getting a MSI Radeon R9 270X TWIN FROZR 2GB for my GPU. Are there any possible bottlenecks here?

Nah, no game will be pushing that CPU too hard. You will be limited by that GPU instead (Which is what you want).

i7-5960X on Asus X99-S with 32GB Crucial Ballistix 2400Mhz and ZOTAC GTX780Ti. 256GB Crucial M4 SSD with 3TB and 1TB HDD's. Built in a Define R4.

Buy an R9 280 instead, much better quality GPU that will last longer and is not much more expensive.

You can get the R9 270 it's cheaper and you OC to the level of the R9 270x, No bottlenecks @JayzTwoCents loves this word he really does.
