Hello, I am about to purchase this video card for my system.

PNY GTX 650 TI 1GB:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-133-473&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Page=1#scrollFullInfo

Just before I bought it, I thought to myself, would there be a bottleneck considering my processor? I have an Intel Pentium G860 Dual-Core processor 3GHZ. I've heard of some people pairing these exact components and they haven't had any problems but.. I just want to make sure.

Also considering my specs, do you object to me getting this card?

Thanks!

Depends on what you want to do. For gaming this won't be a very big problem, I would upgrade my CPU though. For other things it's a bit of a bottleneck, but not very bad.

As of now, all I am going to be doing is gaming on my TV which I believe is 1366x768 resolution. I will be playing Skyrim, Battlefield 3, and some Bioshock Infinite. Would it be good considering me playing those games?

Also, I know. I will upgrade my CPU by the end of the summer because I am a real big Battlefield fan and I want to be able to play BF4 without a problem.

Best thing to do is getting a 660 or higher, wich will make a even greater bottleneck but that's not a problem if your going to upgrade the CPU. I think you will need at least 660 to play BF4 without problems.
