Is this build balanced?

[xXATHERIALXx]

So I'm planning on building a new PC and I was wondering if a Xeon W3680 would bottleneck a R9 390. The Xeon would be overclocked to 4Ghz or higher would that help?

yes it will depending on the game, you should be fine for the most part.

The most CPU demanding game I'll be playing is GTA5

probably not the greatest idea, but i'm taking it that you found it for a steal.

I mean it's okay for gaming, better off buying a g4560 though

The reason I want the Xeon is I do alot of multi threaded games like Beam NG drive and GTA V and thought the 6core 12 thread would do good. Running at 4.2ghz would it be a bottleneck for alot of games or just a few? Because it's basically just an I7 980X

You should be fine, the pentium has 1/3 threads and cores.  As more support for extra cores comes you will see a big boat as well

considering OP probably got it cheaply, i'd beg to differ:
