I am looking to upgrade my current rig
cpu: i3 540 3.06 ghz
gpu: ati hd 5770
psu: corsair 550 watt
mobo: ga h55 m s2
ram:4 gb
I know my cpu is old but i can't upgrade it because that would mean upgrading the mobo as well
and that cost's too much where i live.
I would like to add replace my gpu with a
gtx 750 ti to speed things up and increase my ram to 8 gb.
how would my rig perform with that upgrade? would my cpu bottleneck the 750ti?
 
Solution
To be put shortly, no there is no bottleneck in that pairing of components.

Going from the 5770 to GTX 750Ti is a good upgrade, difference is noticeable and worth it.
