Is my CPU bottleneck for my GPU ? should i overclock?

[Vanhu]

Hi guys.
I have just builded my new rig and i want to know, if is my CPU  bottleneck for my GPU.
CPU I5 469OK
GPU asus Strix 97Oi
Is that ok? or should i overclock my cpu for better performance ?
CPU Fan: Zalman CNPS8X Optima
PSU: Enermax NAXN ENP500AGT 500W
Motherboard: MSI B85-G41 PC Mate.

I have checked that CPU and motherboard are both open for overcloacking.

Thank you for any help I´m pretty new around this stuff.
I dont even know if i should use MSI bios or OC genie or Intel center or something diferent….

no that should not create any bottlenecks

4690k won't even bottleneck a 980ti so you'll be fine.

nope , it's ok.  Always overclock with the bios.

I'm a bit worried about the psu though. Enermax doesn't have the best reputation...

@Vanhu But you really should get a overclocksupporing motherboard (z97) or not a 4690k and a better cooler.

 

Edit: and psu upgrade!!!

There is no bottleneck with a 4690k and a GTX 970 but I doubt you will overclock much with this motherboard.

Ok guys thank a lot
i guess there is no need to risk OC for me.
Btw @Coaxialgamer how much should i be worried with my PSU ?
If i wont OC it should be fine right ?

Well,  your specific model is considered tier 5,so not the best.  Honestly,  you should be fine actually.
