There's always a bottleneck. Just depends what fps you are at when it becomes obvious. You will be fine. The CPU will be the bottleneck but its not as if it will affect anything unless its a really CPU demanding game like fsx or such.
 
BF4 seems more optimised than BF3 and the engine (Frostbite 3) is very good on PC. BF4 is early Alpha and I can't say too much but don't think this game will be more demanding than BF3, as this Alpha test is very kind to VRAM and GPU's in general.
 
Of course. And there's a bottleneck in pretty much every pc. Has to be. Doesn't mean it's a bad thing, unless it makes the fps lower than your refresh rate
