1060 3gb and AMD A8-6600k How bad is the bottleneck at 720p resolution?

I have a gtx 650 and upgrading to a 1060 3gb but of course i will upgrade my mobo and cpu a few more months so i can remove bottleneck but for now how bad is it?

System Specs:
RAM: 8gb DDR3
GPU: GTX 650 1gb non-ti
CPU: AMD A8-6600k
PSU: 600 watts (Generic)
Monitor: 1360 x 768

the 6600k, i have one, never made overclock on it

it works nice with a 750 ti, no bottlenecks form what i have seen

the 1060 is at least 3 times faster so it coudl be a bottleneck on some games

remember that bottleneck is just the inability of a certain part of run at its maximum potential, so instead of getting 100 fps on a game you could get 80 fps

the world doesn't end for a bottleneck, i assure you that

about the 1060 3gbs, don't buy a 3gbs card, buy the 6 gbs model, it is more likely that you get a games that in 1080p will ask your to have 4 gbs of ram or more

i already maxed out 2 gbs on gta v and i'm not pushing hard the game, jsut a 720p at high

get the 6 gbs model, you will do just fine and might get surprised on how well that a8 runs, i am, thing is fast, a shame the heatsink is noisy, i should buy a new heatsink
