It's fine for 1080p gaming.

No it is fine. No i5 in the past half decade will significantly bottle-neck a gpu
I would not recommend it if you're buying new computer though

Zotac GTX 650 2gb 128bit, you wont believe me but I am streaming gta online (high - very high settings except some settings on normal)

Well that's more to do with your graphics card then, Wildlands is newer game and quite heavy on hardware. GTX 650 is pretty obsolete by today's standards, best would be to swap it with GTX 1060 or RX 480.
Or at least GTX 1050 Ti.

Would GTX 1050 ti bottleneck my cpu?

No, i5 can run GTX 1060 or RX 480 fine too.

thank you if you were comparing i5 4440 3.1ghz to Intel Pentium G4560 Soket 1151 3,5GHz 3MB which one would be the best choice?

i5 is better, four physical cores beats two cores with hyper-threading.
Also for G4560 you would need new B250 motherboard and new DDR4 RAM.

That's LGA 1150 socket with DDR3 RAM, Pentium G4560 uses LGA 1151 socket with DDR4 RAM.

Yeah, stick with your current CPU, all you need is better graphics card.
