Will the Intel G3258 bottleneck the GTX 960

If that is the Pentium K I think you would be alright as the GPU is not very high end ( and the cpu can be overclocked?), but I also think it depends on the games you want to play that utilise more than 2 cores - not many. Personally I think you won't see any bottleneck at all in most games or all, the only issue will be that you won't be able to play things like Farcry 4.

Yes it will bottleneck by a great extent if the game is CPU intensive. I recommend you to upgrade your CPU to an i5 atleast to play latest titles.

It will bottleneck it just as much, and as little as any other video card, because they basically have nothing to do with one another. Your video card determines what graphical settings you can get, while your CPU caps your maximum framerate. There are some games that will run poorly on the Pentium due to it only having 2 cores, but the vast majority should run alright.
