Upgrading to a Intel Core i5-12600K, but I have a EVGA RTX 2070s, is that a bad idea? (zerobytes.monster)

Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my CPU right now but dont have the money to upgrade my GPU, I would like to get the Intel Core i5-12600K, but on https://pc-builds.com/bottleneck-calculator it says my GPU(EVGA 2070s) is too weak for the CPU and I will have around a 5.1% bottleneck. Is that really bad?

I mostly just play games on 3440x1440 and my current CPU can't handle a lot of titles and I would like to future proof the build but not break the bank.

I will eventually upgrade to a 4070+ when I can afford to do so but I wanted to start off with the CPU considering I still have an i7-7700k and would like to run more titles on 1440p.
