i have a msi gtx 960 2gb 100me gpu and i want to play the upcoming doom 2016 at 1080p 60 fps. Would the Intel Core i5-2400 be a good cpu for the gtx 960 and wont bottleneck in any game. Right now i have a amd 860k and it bottlenecks in some games.

So, if I were to buy a external adapter for my mPCIe slot (currently being used for wireless connection) in my laptop. Would ithat be compatable with a EVGA GTX 960? How much would it bottleneck?
