I'm sitting on a GTX 650ti right now and thinking about upgrading to a 760 and was curious if it would bottleneck my CPU

My power supply might not be enough also, would a 600 watt be good?

I'm on a AMD FX 4130 Quad Core 3.80

And running a 450 Watt Power Supply.

That would be the cheapest way to achieve what you want, if you mod heavily, and I mean HEAVILY(200+), you will want the 4GB card.

Yes, it will bottleneck. Keep the GPU that you have right now, that is the best performance that you are going to get out of that CPU. If you do get the 760, a good quality 600W PSU should be fine. Good luck! :)

No way, a quad core FX processor is NOT a bottleneck to a GTX 760. If you were talking SLI or some heavy hitting cards, i'd say "maybe".

600w (from a good manufacturer, i.e, Corsair/Seasonic/Coolmaster/Rosewill) is plenty for that setup.

Get your 760, youll love it mate

So Basically a AMD FX-8320 Vishera 3.5GHz (4.0GHz Turbo) 8-Core Desktop Processor would be my best choice with a GTX760 and then a 600 watt power supply?

I don't care what I have to add to get the 760 cause my 650ti is not holding up well with the heavy modding i'm doing in The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, I'm having to run it on medium graphics and would like to take it to ultra without being at 20/25 frame rates.

Alright, thanks for the help I'm at around 40 mods right now, don't think I'll need anymore. I'll just go with the 2GB version for $250 on newegg, unless there's somewhere cheaper I don't know about.
