GTX 960 getting bottlenecked

[marcoshmc]

Hello, I'm working on my desktop upgrade, there are my current specs:

Cpu: Intel core 2 duo e6550 2.33Ghz
Mobo: Asus P5K-E/WIFI-AP
Ram: 4gb 800Mhz
PSU: LC-Power 650W

I would start out with the processor/board/ram, but my graphics card (9800gt) died, and black friday came on time. I ended up getting a Asus Turbo GTX 960.
Im getting the rest of the build in 2 weeks or so. I noticed an obvious boost in graphics performance already. I've been playing Black Ops 2 (all maxed), and altough i never drop below 55 fps, the game should run easily at 60fps locked right? My question is simple... Should i worry about something being wrong with the gpu. Or is it just simple bottleneck?

Appreciate any answers. Thank you.

Nothing wrong in the card,it's the CPU not letting the card use it's full godlike power.

@SPgamer007 You dont imagine how that lets me chill! So I should just hang tight untill I get the cpu/rams and then can enjoy smooth 1080p playing right?
Btw, I previously bought an 950gtx msi G1 edition, but returned it for the Asus turbo 960. Altough the msi card/cooler was way better, i tought it was worth it the 960 (10€ difference). I did good right??

Yea,some upgrades and you are golden

You can enjoy smooth gameplay,1080p,but in some games you need to lower the settings a bit in order to achieve 60 frames,as gtx 960 is not the card for 1080p,gtx 970 is as you already know.
You did good switching to gtx 960,it's better card overall.

Yes, i figured! Still wanted an experienced user opinion. Im glad to know! And thank you for your support bro
But yea, i know.. but for me its fine even running all games just for itself, was just dreaming about a 750 to play some csgo, instead getting a 960 its a pretty big upgrade!
Btw, if i may have another opinion. At the beginning my idea was to get an AMD x4 860k as its great in "quality/price". But then i checked the new 6th intel generation, and noticed that (at least here) the i3 6110 isnt that expensive (120€)! Do you think its worth the investment for the i3 and the ddr4 rams?
