So here is my build:

So I was told by a very helpful lad in another thread this would be a good graphics card to get:

Now my only concern is that I might get bottle necking. Is there anyone that could tell me what might happen if I get this graphics card as far as bottle necking goes?

Also what sort of improvement could I expect by adding this graphics card?

That graphics card would definitely fit your system quite well. It may be even a little bit more powerful compared to the cpu. You shouldnt have any problems gaming with that card.

However; if you're going to spend $150, I'd highly recommend the 7850, arguably much more power for the same price.

Yep, that's a great entry-level 1080p card. You can get a larger HSF for your CPU and overclock it - that will help your minumum framerate in games.

FYI bottlenecking varies from game to game, but a general rule of thumb is to use a CPU that costs about 75% as much as your GPU.
