Welcome to the forum, and let me add a little to your knowledge. The term bottlenecking is used to describe an unbalanced build where one part (in this case CPU or GPU) is so slow that it won't allow the other part to achieve its full speed in practice. Usually when a CPU is too slow to let a GPU show its full speed in games.

So the question is really if this is a well-balanced build for what you want to use it for. What do you want to use it for?
