Is this a good pc for 2014+ hardcore gaming at 1080p?

Specs:
i7 2700k stock (stock cooler for now)
16gb 1600mhz corsair venegance memory
Nvidia GTX 970 MSI twin frozr OR Palit Jetstream (please advise me on which to choose)
Corsair RM750w psu
Illyama prolite 27inch monitor

Any bottlenecks anywhere?
Any framerate estimates when maxing out games with AA like BF4, Crysis 3, COD AW, Planetside 2, etc.

Sorry if I am doing this wrong, this is my first post

thanks in advance

not sure why you are using that old of an i7. I'm not saying that it's bad, but seems somewhat old compared to these parts. Everything else looks find. The monitor brand seems to be a Japanese/Chinese knockoff. Most of those are real bad, but some are even better than the originals in rare cases.

Why upgrade? It's not like there has been a big leap forward lately. Many people still run older processors and game just fine.

woah, thanks guys I didn't think I would get so many replies so quickly.
The i7 is a hand me down from my dad, along with the motherboard which I forgot to mention, is a ASUS PBZ68-V PRO/GEN3, wondering if this mobo is any good for this rig? Also, the monitor is a pretty well known Japanese brand which I have been using for about 2 years without an issue.
thanks

PCI-E 2.0 at x16 will not be a bottleneck for any card.
