Will a gtx 760 bottleneck my setup/ will my psu handle it?

This is my build roughly

amd 5800k processor
rest..

I also have a 20ish inch monitor I dont know how much that factors into the power usage.

I'm planning on buying a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130932 for pretty cheap. I was wondering firstly if my psu would handle it, it says it ecommends 500 watts which is what I have.. but if it recommends 500 watts would I be playing it not safe by buying this and installing it.

I was also wondering how much the bottleneck would be on my cpu, if I overclocked to about 4.1ghz instead of the factory preset.

Your processor does cause the 760 to run a little bit slower than normal. The PSU will definitely be good enough for your setup. The bottleneck is barely noticeable but you'll have horrible lag in games that use the CPU more than the GPU.

do you already have that cpu? If you are going for external gpu like GTX 760, i would suggest you change your processor and mostly pick an AM3+ socket cpu. For psu, get the below mentioned:

Yeah I bought the processor a while ago and didnt want to shell out for a gpu so thought it was a good deal. I think I will buy the card since I'm getting ti really cheap like a little bit under 200 dollars, and it seems like I could hold onto it for a long time to come.

Hopefully I may even be able to trade some my processor in the future for a fx 4350 or a 6300 if I'm lucky. TY guys for the advice.

get the gtx 760 for now, and upgrade your motherboard and processor later when you got bucks in your hand. I would recommend FX 6300 processor at least to start with. Here are the motherboard and cpu:
