Looks good, but won't the GPU's get bottlenecked?

Looks good, but won't the GPU's get bottlenecked?

Yes but not too significantly (maybe 5% less performance)

[Crowcore]

Yes, but a little overclocking will take care of that.

If you're not in a hurry, wait for the new AMD cards to be benchmarked.
