Is this build bottlenecked?

[hdgro11]

Hello, so recently I built myself a pretty budget gaming rig (teenager budget). I got most of the components from an old PC my brother had but didn't use anymore. From his PC I recovered an AMD Athlon II X3 455, 2x4GB of DDR3 1333 MHz RAM sticks, an MSI MS-7641 motherboard, a 500GB Seagate Pipeline HDD and a 500W PSU, and now I only need a graphics card. After some research I decided that I would buy a Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 TI 2GB, but I'm affraid my system will be bottlenecked. Is my choice a good one, and if not, what graphics card would be better suited for my build? Also, is an SSD necessary, or is it used just for faster boot times?

You should be fine. Consider getting a quad core if you can.

It’s an ok choice but you need to manage expectations. Your cpu is well below the minimum recommended for modern AAA games so regardless of gpu choice those games won’t run well. However older or less demanding games will work well with a 750Ti.

I mostly want to play 2010-2014 games, like Skyrim and the Borderlands series and some modern indies and modded minecraft. Like I said, I'm on a teenager budget and can't really afford much. If it runs on 30 fps or smoother at 720p or 1080p then I'm satisfied.

You might be ok but both of those games were quite demanding in their day.

Just wanted to make sure you were managing expectations so not to be disappointed after spending on all this.
