^ Yes, it should...Maybe 5-8% bottleneck... if it happens you can overclock it can you not ?

then there will be a significant bottleneck mate, especially for newer games like Witcher 3 etc..
You should settle for the 960 and get a better processor with the extra money

Sell the CPU + Mobo + GPU + RAM + add extra 20k and get the following:

Intel Core i5 4440 -11000,
Asus B85M-G -5500,
Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600Mhz -5000,
Zotac GTX 960 2GB -17000.
TOTAL -38,500.

For the upcoming games the above GPU or setup is more than enough buddy. So go for it.
