If you are able to overclock the q6600 the bottleneck will disappear.

As for the i5 it would be a massive upgrade.

how much do I need to overclock it

spentshells · Oct 5, 2015

to 3Ghz, in games that are cpu dependent this wont help that much but it will prevent the cpu from holding back the gpu.

Note that these games are not nearly as cpu dependent as newer games

An i5-2400 will easily outrun a core 2 quad 6600 regardless of the video card.

Oh I don't think anyone was entertaining that thought.

OK, then, No, an i5-2400 won't bottleneck a GTX650Ti

No. It will be fine.
