I have a i5-2500k Sandy Bridge processer and want to get a 900 series gpu...Is it worth getting the high end gpu with that cpu or will it bottleneck. Am i better off getting a MB and CPU and upgrade the GPU later? Thanks

Your processor wouldn't be bottlenecked by a Titan X. See the attached link for a thread on the 980 ti with an i5-2500k. You would be perfectly fine buying any 900 series GPU.
