I'm a complete noob to the whole pc gaming and tech world and don't know much about possible bottlenecking, so It'd be great if someone would help me out by telling me about possible bottlenecks.

The build as it is is pretty good. But when you need to upgrade the GPU, your CPU is going to hold the build back. You'll have to change the board and CPU if you're going for a high end GPU later, as even AMD's highest end FX CPUs bottleneck cards above a 970.
