Pretty much no unless you play league on lower settings or csgo you'd still get a stupid number of frames now, but a lot of people think 250>200 on a 60/75/120/144 Hz monitor, this isn't true.

You make no mention of your CPU cooler or current 100% load temps so I definitely can't say yes. A Stock 6700k will not bottlneck a 970 in many cases anyway. I'd say there really isn't a reason

Supahos :

In some cases such as Outlast 2, The Crew, there are many instances of frame drops. The frames drop slowly and i don't understand why, everything is cooled, nothing passes over 50.
Cooler: Gammaxx 300 http://www.deepcool.com/product/cpucooler/2013-12/7_481.shtml

Well are any cores on the CPU running 100% load? If not it won't help anything. I suspect the drops are coming from your 970 not the 6700k but I could be wrong. Monitor CPU and GPU usage during the drops to confirm which is holding you up.
