I'm thinking of upgradeing my PC. My motherboard is Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H and i looked Processor AMD FX-4300, socket AM3+, 64bit, 3,8GHz. Will it work? (AMD Phenom II X2 550 is the processor what i have right now). And which Processor will start bottlenecking Gigabyte GTX 650 1GB OC?

No it will not work looking at it you have DDR2 ram which FX does not support.

But if I buy GTX 650 and keep my CPU (AMD PhenomII X 550) Will my processor bottleneck the GPU?
