Will Core i3-530 bottleneck GTX 1050?

[Irbyz]

My graphics card was acting up lately, so I'm looking to buy a replacement.
Is GTX 1050 (non Ti version) worth it with my Core i3-530 CPU over GTX 750 Ti or the bottleneck will nullify the advantage of the better card?

My system specs:

OS Windows 10 and Arch Linux
CPU Intel Core i3-530 2.93GHz 4Mb Cache with Cooler Master Hyper T4 fan
GPU Palit GTX660 OC 2048Mb GDDR5
RAM Corsair XMS3 4Gb (2x2Gb) DDR3 1333MHz
MB ASUS P7H55/USB3
HDD Western Digital Caviar Green 1Tb 64Mb Cache (and some old 160Gb Seagate, don't remember the actual model)
PSU Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 460W
Monitor LG W2363D-PF 120Hz
Audio FiiO E10 USB DAC Headphone Amplifier (onboard audio is disabled in BIOS)

Yes it will bottleneck,some gpu bound games will gain fps but others will not change at all.Maybe with a mild overclock you will balance your system if you buy the 1050.

not sure why there would be a cpu bound bottleneck, as the screen is 1080.
at that res, almost all load will be on the gpu.

one of the reasons why a lot of games will actually perform same/better on an amd 8350 than a 5860k@4GHz when running 4K/UHD res.

unless you meant the cpu will always bottleneck (any gpu), because of its "age".
