Will a AMD A4-5300 work with my new Evga GTX 950 SC+?
Or do I have to upgrade?

I'm only playing runescape not any High end games.
 
Solution
Yes, it's bottlenecking a bit, but it won't be unplayable. Though a dual core CPU isn't really ideal if you're planning on playing recent and semi-modern titles. If you're going to play RS 3, then expect a bit of stutter, but you'd have to see for yourself. OSRS should run way better.

eh, not really.
you're using an apu which is basically a cpu with a gpu on it. which is pointless.
it says online that the Evga 950 will be great with an i5-4460.
so using the a4 will bottleneck the gpu, which is bad.
i then compared it with the A4
game debate says that the 4460 is 240% better than the A4
i'd say get a AMD FX-8350 8-Core 4.0 GHz (4.2 GHz Turbo)
or downgrade the gpu and get a cpu
or get a better apu with no gpu.
