If by bottleneck you mean not making full use of GTX 670 then yes, there will be bottleneck. If CPU A + 670 can do 60 fps and CPU B + 670 can do 70 fps a bottleneck does exist, for CPU A is providing less performance. If by bottleneck...

It takes 960T 3.8 GHz to beat i3-2100 (about 4.0 GHz to beat i3-2120). You are good to go.
HD7850 is right behind HD6970. If you overclock 965 by a bit it should handle HD7850 just fine. Will Intel setup increase performance all around? Yes, if you have the money then it is worth it. Definitely try to get your hands on 960T...
