Hi, I am looking at buying a pc with an i5 2500 in it for $250. Will it bottleneck my GPU which is an AMD Radeon HD 7970?

This will be my gaming setup in the end.
CPU: i5 2500
GPU: HD 7970
HDD: 500GB
RAM: 8gb

I've learn't my lesson by using a cheap power supply, not very fun. Thanks for the reply though, much appreciated :)
