Massive bottleneck will occur, especially as you can't OC.

This would be better:

You can always get an R9 280 or 270X if you can't afford this.

What if I was to get a z97 mobo so I can OC the CPU would it still bottleneck?

With anything higher than about a 750 Ti or R9 270 it will bottleneck, especially in more modern games, an i5 will do you for years.

I agree a I5 would be a lot better but just wondering what if I got to OC the g3258 to 4.6 or 4.7 would it still bottleneck there ??

High clock speed won't make up for the lack of cores. Like I said you could always get a lesser GPU like a 280 or 270X which are still decent cards and get the i5.
