I already have an Intel Core i5 650 2 cores, four threads @ 3.20 ghz and upto 3.33 ghz with turbo boost and i wanted to buy a gtx 760. will this cpu bottleneck my New Gpu.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cpu: Intel Core i5 650 @ 3.20 ghz and upto 3.33 ghz with turbo boost

Ram: 4GB 1333MHZ

Psu: 320 watts for my cpu and an external FSP Booster X5 450watts independent/supplementary power supply for the "GTX 760" Only.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I dont have enough money to buy a new processor.

Also i wanted to know if it will bottleneck, by how many fps will i lose when i play a game like Crysis 3 and Battlefield 4 on ULTRA with FXAA with 1920x1080 FULL HD.

I cant overclock my cpu because my computer is an hp oem pc locked.

I have a motherboard with LGA socket 1156 and max TDP of 75 watts. give my a CPU upgrade suggestion for $150 or should I keep my CPU because it's very difficult to upgrade.

Thank you :)

Yeah, with that socket you're not going to be able to get a much better CPU.

With those particular games, as Panda said, you may notice some bottleneck since that is only a dual core CPU (4 threads though). However it's a mid-high range card so you should be ok to a point.

Here's a site with a few benchmarks for that card:

You'd probably get a few FPS lower than that, hard to judge how much. But yes, a bottleneck will be apparent.

I have the exact same proscessory the i5 650 dual core and the gtx 760 im getting 60-90fps in bf3 everything buy exactly everything on ultra , but i must say i have problems in other games like mmo's like silkroad / Tera or dayz , trying to find out what it is atm might be cause of the dual core but for bf3 you wont have any problems .
