I thought my CPU was still relevant but I suppose not running, at 144fps

Definitely a CPU bottleneck! You need to upgrade to a 4790K

Hey, guys, I have an i5 4670K and a 980 TI super clocked but I've noticed whenever I game on something like overwatch or rainbow six siege games will be using alone 85 to 90% of my CPU. I will also get random frame dips and I just wanted to know is it normal for this processor to be maxing out on these games? Especially with such a capable graphics card. Any help would be greatly appreciated

cpu bottleneck? add more eyecandy.

Depends... Some settings can stress the CPU even more :D

usually not the eyecandy ones, and those which do are usually also MUCH more heavy on the GPU, capping off on that side quickly.
