I have an AMD Athlon X4 760k running at 3.8 GHz and was wondering if it could be bottlenecking my Gigabyte GTX 960 G1 Gaming Edition. If so, how much?

There should be no bottleneck in 95% of situations there, its quite a balanced system.

If anything I would say the CPU would be the first to cause a bottleneck, if both CPU and GPU requirements were equal and linear, however this is never the case, so you should do well. A newer CPU may be able to squeeze a little more FPS out of the card, but not a huge amount.
