gtx 780 and core i3 2120 3.3 ghz

I am planing on buying gtx 780. My processor is core i3 2120 3.3 ghz. Will the card bottlenect the system?? And what will be the extent of bottlenecking?? considering I dont play online games..

Yes, the i3 will be a slight bottleneck, but only in CPU limited games. Since you only play single player, your CPU won't have the added task of trying to keep up with all the other players on a busy server. You may not get the maximum performance from the card in some games, but it won't be a deal breaker IMO.

Thank you.. Really helped a lot.

Yes it will bottleneck many modern games.

Your gunna have to get a new cpu bro.

I will be upgrading my cpu soon. But till then the bottleneck will be bearable??

Depends entirely on how CPU heavy the game is, most will be fine.

You won't notice any bottle neck. All bottle neck means is that a faster CPU will be able to get more performance from the gfx card.
