Hello all, I was wondering if I paired a I5-4590 with a GTX 980ti would there be any form of bottleneck between them? Not sure if it matters but the system will have 16gb RAM @1600mhz on dual channel on a H97 Mini-ITX MB. If there is any bottleneck in performance would the I5-4690 fix that or will I need to get a Z series chip? I would rather not have to overclock.

No.  Why would you ever get the idea a new CPU would ever be a bottleneck?  i7-2500k's are still running everything with no issue...  Either of those CPUs would be fine and that motherboard would be fine.
 
"Bottleneck" needs to be removed from the dictionary for reasons like your inquiry, lol.  The only thing that would be even slightly restricted would be CPU based games, since you won't be overclocking, but that is miniscule and won't have any effect on the GPU.
