Hi I am wanting to buy this graphics card for my pc but I'm not sure if it will bottle neck my cpu. It's an intel core 2 duo E8400 3 ghz. I have 4 gbs of ram and I currently have an ati HD 4850. I'm Just wanting to get some more graphics boost.

Yes, your aged cpu will be a bottleneck in many games. You'll most likely see an improvement in FPS but you wont be able to relase the cards full gaming power till you upgrade the mobo, ram and cpu.
