Hello , i wanted to know if pentium dual core E6600 3.06 will severely bottleneck a nvidia gtx 650 ti 1 GB DDR5 severely ?? or will it be manageable ??

Yes it will be a bottleneck, I'm pretty sure that's an older Core 2 Duo of the same model number they renamed as a pentium. It won't cripple your system like if it's an E2100, but it is a little slow for newer games. Find out what processors your motherboard can handle, a core 2 quad can be had cheap on ebay.

Don't buy a GTX 650 ti. A GTX 750 is cheaper and slightly faster and the GTX 750ti's are priced pretty close and faster yet. Both use less power as well and don't need an external PCI-E connector. Given the age of your system, power supply is a concern for me.

ok ... ma pc specs : pentium dual core E6600 ; Digilite DL-G41MX3-LT motherboard ( PCIe x 16 2.0 ) ; nvidia geforce 9500GT GPU ( Direct X 10.1 ) ; a Corsair 450 PSU ; 1 TB Seagate Baracuda ; 8 GB DDR3 RAM

right now the plan is change the graphic card only as its too old ...

I want to play Crysis 3 if possible with the newer GPU ...

It will be tough to play Crysis 3 with that CPU, regardless of GPU. Sadly, your gpu is so old, not even a new CPU will help you. 720p on low might be possible though. Get the 750ti for now, then start saving for a new rig.

so will i be able to play crysis 3 with 750ti n E6600 3.0 at medium settings ?? will there be a significant bottlenecking ... ??? which will cripple ma system .... ???

Low to medium should be possible @ 720p. Yes there will be a bottleneck. The GTX 750ti is the fastest GPU you can get without need for an external PCI-E connector. You can start saving up for a new system and reuse the graphics card for that system. Bottleneck will not harm anything. The graphics card just won't be running at its full performance.

Ok that is a good thing. I was just hoping that you were not running XP due to it;s limiting Direct3d

Search ebay for a Q9450, it can be had for $60-$80 and the performance will be 4 times that pentium.

Honestly That is not the best Combo for CPU/GPU/MB....The G41 chipser only has PCI-E 16x 1 or 1.1. This will limit the data going to your Graphics card and even more so since the GTX 650 ti, GTX 750 ti are both Gen 3 PCI-E...PCI-E 3.0. I am not saying the card wont' work but it will limit the performance Also I do believe that CPU will not give the GPU enough data to fast enough to perform optimally. Here is a chart I just looked at from Tom's in another thread. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-o...

Those cards are not going to saturate a PCI-E 1.1 slot.
