I'm planning on Overclocking my i5 2500k from stock 3.30ghz to 4.50ghz. I am already familiar on how to do this and I know which BIOS settings to change. My motherboard is the ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3. What I am wondering is will I get a significant performance increase with the speed increase and roughly how much? Secondly, Will this reduce a bottleneck of crossfire 6950s if there is one. (Honestly, I don't know that for sure.) My heatsink is the Corsair A70 which is completely fine cooling the cpu at that speed.

Oc'ing the cpu will give you a boost, but how much percentage wise, I couldn't say.   I really don't think the 2500k is bottlenecking you cards. 
Keep in mind, if you overclock the chip yourself and you're still under DS warranty, it could affect the warranty.
