Looking at getting a gtx 1060 today and upgrading my cpu/mobo come February next year. Will my cpu bottleneck a gtx 1060 3gb. Would a slight overclock help? Will be playing games like BF1, Ark Survival, Star Citizen.

Specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition
ASRock 970 EXTREME4
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB
XFX HD-695X-CNFC Radeon HD 6950 2GB
OCZ ZS Series 650W 80PLUS Bronze PSU
LG 22X Super-Multi DVD Burner
COOLER MASTER Elite 430
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO

GTX 1060:

would it be worth just waiting and upgrading the gpu, cpu, and mobo all together in February?

That would be your best option. I mean you can do the GPU now if you plan on doing cpu/mobo/ram in feb
