I'm looking to upgrade my old GTX 560, and I'm wondering if my current motherboard and processor (i5-2500K Sandy Bridge Quad-Core & Asus P8Z77-V LK) would bottleneck my performance and require a full overhaul?

I'm looking to do a near full overhaul sometime later this year, but I'd like a new GPU soon to play Overwatch and Dark Souls 3. My intended upgrade card is MSI GTX 970.
