Core i3-2100 and GeForce GTX 950 Asus DirectCU II OC 2GB Edition Bottleneck

[GamerX23]

I'm planning to buy an Asus GeForce GTX 950 DirectCU II OC 2GB Edition but I'm afraid to buy it because I think my cpu will bottleneck my gpu.

Processor: Core i3-2100 3.10 GHz
RAM: 10 GB

Should I buy it or not? Will it bottleneck?

Thanks

i3-2100 is a very capable gaming cpu.
I would not be worried.

If you wish, try this test:
Run YOUR games, but lower your resolution and eye candy.
If your FPS increases, it indicates that your cpu is strong enough to drive a better graphics configuration.
If your FPS stays the same, you are likely more cpu limited.

From my experience I can say that with newerer games you will get a bottleneck with that CPU. I have one paired with a HD6870 ( This GPU is old by now ) and I do get some Bottlenecks with the i3.

How about upgrading it a little bit further like Asus GTX 960 DirectCU II OC 4GB Edition?
