I have an athlon 64 x2 5000+ 2.6 ghz,is it bottlenecking with my gt 430 ? Previously i had and 8400gs,and it made better performance than this.I mean i cant run most of the games.If it is it would be an improvement if i change it with an pentium dual core e5200 2.5 ghz ?
Is it bottlenecking ?

Nope, should be fine . As long as you are happy with the frame rates you are getting, stick with your current cpu

You should be getting higher performance with the GT 430 than with the 8400s. Have you installed the latest drivers?
What power supply do you have?

It likely has little to do with your processor.
Neither the GT430 or 8400GS has the necessary heft to push anything close to modern titles at minimum settings, though the GT430 should be a bit better at DX9/8 games from 7 or 8 years ago ... at 'lower' resolutions and detail.

Which brings us back to my questions
What Nvidia driver version do you have installed?
What power supply do you have?
The GT 430 should get you better performance, but it looks like something is wrong.

Okay, so there shouldn't be a problem.
When you play a game that you get bad FPS in, what are your temperatures and CPU/GPU loads?
You can use HWMonitor (download and install) to monitor temperatures and Task Manager to monitor CPU load. Download and install MSI Afterburner for GPU load monitor.
Additionally, you could run a graphics benchmark using the two different cards. Like with 3dMark firestrike or something.

Okay, so that's good, but I still would like to know about the exact load percentages for both your graphics card and processor.

I don't know what you were playing on the 8400GS, but my experience was that I recieved the card, installed it, and the game I was playing ( The Witcher) crashed. Went and looked at the specs and saw that the card was 64 bit. Not good for gaming. You probably would have been better off getting a 9800GT if you could find one. It is a rebranded 8800GT but a very good card.
