"Bottlenecking" does not work like that. If you run something very CPU intensive, the CPU will bottleneck you. Likewise with GPU intensive tasks the GPU will bottleneck you. Tell us what you are going to do with that setup and we'll give you some answers.

Just one little correction: There is no k-version of the i3-3220 so you aren't going to be able to overclock.
Now then:

As you can see, the i3 is capable of reaching good fps in all modern games, but will cause a bit of a bottleneck. An i5 with a GTX 760 would be a more balanced combo for gaming, but if you already have the i3, no need to upgrade just yet.
