Hey! If I buy AMD FX-6300 and now I have GTX260. Is that CPU too powerful for that GPU? So does gtx260 come bottleneck for that cpu?

If you want to upgrade the CPU it wont fit in the motherboard because the motherboard is different socket ( i think it is 775 ) and also 6300 doesnt support DDR2 RAM. If you want to upgrade the processor you have to upgrade the motherboard to a AM3+ socket, upgrade the ram to DDR3, and make sure that your case fits that motherboard ( if your motherboard is ATX make sure that it will fit in the case ).
For 300$ you can get a pretty good upgrade and then save some money for a better GPU if its a gaming PC :)

CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor ($149.99 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($73.98 @ OutletPC)
Memory: Corsair...

He was just joking, there is no CHANCE to bottleneck with that old GPU. Also if you want to get better gaming performance,you should upgrade your GPU too :). Also what kind of motherboard you have? Also is your ram DDR2?
