I have core2duo e4500 and I want to pair it with HD 7750. will it bottleneck ?

Solution
Yes it will bottleneck it, I have Pentium G620 (sandy Bridge 2 cores), much faster than you CPU and made many test on Radeon HD2600XT, HD6670, HD7850 and I must say that in 90% games there are small differences in fps (for comparsion I tested also hd6670 on DualCore E2180).
Alien vs Predator - depends on gpu
Driver San Francisco - cpu
Skyrim - mostly cpu, little differences in fps
Sleeping Dogs - partial cpu/gpu
Assassin's series - cpu
Need for Speed 2010 - cpu
Far Cry 3 - cpu/gpu
and so on.. I'm talking here about real gaming experience, totally different than benchmarks - playing in full hd + AAx4 with 5-10fps is none sens, all games tested with playable settings to have >40fps, mostly in 1680x1050. Most games cant even utilize 100%...

Of course in many games you will see more fps, but expect big speedup like 200%.. ;]
