Hello,
Im planning to upgrade my GPU and CPU.
Im thinking of a A10 7850k and a GB 970 mini.
1. Will it bottleneck?
2.Does my motherboard support that graphicscard and CPU?
3. Which CPU is good for the GTX 970 mini?

Its absolutely right mate, wouldn't have said it otherwise.

Go with the best priced one

In order of performance (first being slowest)

5600k
5800k
760k/6600k/6700 (too close to call)
6800k

As I said though you're looking 10% max difference between slowest & fastest so it not worth spending if the price difference is big.

The card/CPU/motherboard will be fine together. But I doubt the A10 7850 will be able to provide max performance from the GTX 970. There will be some CPU bottleneck in some games. Especially if playing online on a very busy server with AAA games.

And there really is no CPU upgrade path with the FM2+ platform. You are near the top of the food chain now.
 
Your board is fm2 so it doesn't support kaveri chips - meaning no quad 7*** series apus or the 860/880k.

The best you can do are

760k
A8-6600k
A10 6700
A10 6800k
A8 5600k
A10 5800k

Pick whatever is cheapest because performance difference is negligible with a discrete GPU.

As clutch above says - you will be CPU limited at times which means minimums in the 40's - this cannot be helped without a full rebuild.

You will be able to run max graphics settings though if this is what's important to you
