What? Adding an SSD will not do ANYTHING to help with a CPU bottleneck.

the 7750 will work perfectly well in your system. Not an issue.

It may or may not be a bottleneck depending on the specific game, but you will see a performance increase for sure. You're probably better of waiting and saving money for a better system though as the 7750 likely won't be enough by the time you're able to ugprade the CPU anyway. If you can live with it, try to wait and save for a better system.

Thanks for your time and patience with me. I am an old man. This will probably be my only computer. I appreciate all of you experts taking me by the hand and helping me get the best I can out of this computer!!

I would go ahead and buy it. It will really not bottleneck and if it does it will be REALLY slight.

Agreed. You'll see a nice performance increase on the graphics side too.
