You can easy got to 4 ghz and higher with a 990x. Looks fine to me but I would oc your cpu to 4ghz and then you should not have any problems with a bottle neck.

The obvious bottleneck in every system is the HDD.

If you drop in a SDD boot drive you'll notice MASSIVE drops in boot up time, load time, and (IMHO) enjoyment of your system.
