hey guys, just got my brother an intel pentium g3258 and i was wondering what kind of gpu to get. I was leaning towards getting a gtx 750ti, but also im checking out a gtx 950 sc, but im worried that the gtx 950sc will be bottle neck by the cpu, and also im not going to be overclocking this cpu

By time you get into the 950 zone you should really be purchasing an I3 CPU - shown to have significantly better performance than the Pentium in games.

Either a GTX750ti or a GTX950 would be appropriate.
And... you are leaving 30% cpu performance on the table by not using at least a modest oc.

I overclocked my G3258 to 4.0ghz on 1.13v on stock cooler and it stays under 65 degrees while gaming. I gained like 10-15 fps so its well worth to OC and you don't need an extra cooler unless you want to go further. The pentium would go great with a gtx 960 if thats in your budget, but a 750ti or 950 would do fine aswell.
