I am just getting ready to OC my GPU since I don't have money to really upgrade right now, and was wondering as I have a I3-2100 1155 intel chip which I know cannot be OC, will it bottleneck my MSI N550GTX-Ti 192 bit 1gb GDDR5 Videocard?

I also have 8 gigs of kingston DDR3 1333 and MSI H61M-E23 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel H61 mobo.

I know these aren't the highest end parts but or even terribly new parts but its all I got so any answers or tips would be great.

Nah, I don't think your going to get any bottlenecking. I have a older i5 dual core, and I have been told that the card could probably run a card as high as a HD 7870 or a GTX 760, without much bottlenecking. And your CPU is better than mine.

Here are a few links on this subject.
