Will my Athlon x2 7750 "bottleneck" a r7 265?

I would like to know if I could buy a 265 or a 270 without bottlenecking...
I have an Asus m3n-h motherboard and as I said an Athlon x2 7750 with 6gb of ram, but I'm planing to update it to 8gb if you need that info.
Thank you for your time :D

Just to add a bit more to why I say it would bottleneck, your CPU is about equal to the Pentium dual core E5200 in my old computer. I put an R7 250 in it early last year. I can run Unigine Heaven or Valley benchmark and get 100% GPU usage at about 60% CPU....so it looks like this doing it no problem. BUT in a gaming situation, I get 100% CPU usage and about 50-60% GPU, so the CPU is really limiting the performance.

Okey, thank you, but if it will bottleneck a 265 which card could I purchase, I don't really know about old processors so is hard for me :"(

Thanks then, so if I buy it it won't be as good at it really is, does it? So is not worth, hum... If the "new" generation cards will be bottlenecking what about, say... a hd 7890? I'm not sure about than card just because I dont understand why is 421€ in Amazon... Omg...

Lol, I wouldn't know why it's that price. My experience with a R7 250 is it's a great card and even though my CPU isn't getting the maximum performance from it, it's much better than what I had before it. So a bottleneck isn't a bad thing that's going to cause your computer to crash, instead it just means you spent more than you needed to on a graphics card. My suggestion to you is to look for a card like the R9 240 or possibly the 250, or something like the NVidia GT 730. Anything more powerful is just a waste of money....unless you are going to get a new system soon and put this new graphics card into it, then it's not a waste.
