Will you be overclocking or at least in the future? If not there's no point in buying the K version. And nope it wont bottleneck if you were to get it.

multi threading, It be useful for applications that takes advantages of those extra cores. like photoshop, rendering, CAD ect. but your only gaming and watching movies so you're alright. Invest more of your money towards a better GPU if you haven't.
