A bottleneck is when one of the components of your computer limits the performance because it isn't powerful enough. For example, If you get a $500 graphics card, but put in a $75 dual core pentium processor, games will lag because the processor isn't powerful enough to play the games. If you use an i5 processor instead, the games will be silky smooth because the processor is much more powerful

I have an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz. Lets say I am getting a gtx 660 or anything similar to that would my computer "bottleneck" if I was playing a game like bf4 or something like that on high?

Would you recommend me getting a gtx 660 then? I currently have a Radeon HD 3800.
