Avoiding a Bottleneck

[Thi__Thi_]

Hello

I have a medium to low budget PC and I was looking to upgrade to a better GPU, but I heard of bottlenecking might be a problem. So I was wondering if someone can help me tell if this GPU might make my CPU be a bottleneck

My Specs
Intel i5 650
4gb Ram
Asus P7P55D-E
And the GPU I have in mind is the MSI GeForce GTX 950 Gaming 2gb.

This is only my opinion get as best GPU you can afford now then in a month or two get a new CPU. This upgrade gpu for cpu and vice versa will never stop just get the best you can for the price and then get the rest up to speck. IMPO

Is this 650 not 6500? Im afraid it will bottleneck so either get a better cpu or figure out someway around

If your GPU bottleneck because of CPU you will still get as best performance as you can for the system. A stronger GPU that will bottleneck will still look / work better then a weaker GPU that is not bottlenecking. So just get as good of a GPU you can afford for the games you can play for the resolution you want to play on and if you end up bottlenecking get a better cpu later

The i5 650 wouldn't bottleneck a gtx960, a gtx950 will be just fine.
