Is there any longterm negative effect of bottlenecking?

Basically, I'm getting a GTX-950 in the mail tomorrow, and my current CPU will bottleneck it. Would there be any danger to plugging the GTX-950 into my current setup?

I understand that it WILL be bottlenecked and that my performance won't be as good until I get a proper CPU, but will there be any longterm effects on any of my components?

I hope I'm making the question clear. Basically: am I safe to use my GTX with a weak CPU until I get a better one, or will there be some longterm negative effect?

Ok, so there's no danger of me using the GTX on my weaker stuff? I'd hate to have it sitting in a box until I upgraded.
