Hello ladies and gents, long time lurker first time poster.

I've seen these posts in the opposite of what I'm asking.
I've recently purchased my first compontents to build a gaming PC here's what I chose.
Mobo: Asus Sabertooth 990 r2.0
Processor: AMD FX-8350
GPU: EVGA/Nvidia 550Ti 2GB
RAM: G Skill Ripjaws 1866Ghz (8GB)

I know my GPU is...bad by what I've read, I want to know how bad this set up will bottleneck my machine. I won't be able to upgrade GPU til March.
Cheers, and thanks in advance.

that won't be too bad, there's nothing wrong with a bottleneck if you know it is there and accept it. you'll get good frames at medium settings.

Alright thanks for that. I also plan on OCing the CPU to 4.5-4.7GHz. I dont know if its bad to outweigh your GPU this much since its my first time doing any of this.
