will my CPU bottleneck my GPU? Solved

Solved by DaltonM,
Basically any quad core at least 2.8 Ghz meets the recommendations for most AAA games.
At stock the 4690k is a while away from becoming a bottleneck. Perhaps in super intensive RTS games.
I play Planetary Annihilation (very CPU intensive) at ultra with my 4690k+750ti and get 100+ FPS, with no slow downs.
You'll be fine for a while. It's good that you have the unlocked chip, so when it becomes a bottleneck you can OC to squeeze more life out of your CPU.
EDIT: As for GPUs getting too hot, get Furmark or something and put them under load for 30mins, if they get close to 80C, you need to start worrying heating.
