Hi Dear Friends,
I posted a topic earlier and asked for help to pick a graphic card :
Help Me pick the appropriate Graphic Card!

My Current System Specs:
M.B: Asus P5Q PRO
CPU: Intel E8400 Dual Core
VGA: MSI R4870-MD1G
RAM: 6 G DDR2
Monitor: Samsung 19" 1440×900 (I want to upgrade it to 27" one)
PSU: Green 585B

So, I was patient, and now I can afford to buy this one:
GeForce GTX 950 Zotac AMP! 2GB Edition

that I think is very powerful, but I have concern that my cpu is very weaker than the gpu.
If I want to upgrade my CPU I have to change the whole system, that I really can't afford!

Will I have a satisfactory result, If I upgrade my vga to GTX950 Zotac?

By the way I checked my hardware in game-debate.com for playing "Rise of Tomb Raider" :
and this is the : result

Can I trust this result and count on it?

It depends on what is a satisfactory result for you. But you will experience a bottleneck in games which are more CPU heavy. It will work but just don't expect spectacular gaming results.
Alternatively, you could just save up for a little while longer and build a new system since some of the components you have are old (DDR2 ram) and not great quality (PSU).

Any new gen card will make that card bottleneck, since the rest of your system are considered as an old generation.
I think HD4870 (your current card) is the best card your system can handle.
But that's just my opinions, anyone else?

while that is a good card the problem lies with your CPU. That video card is significantly better than your CPU so when you use them together, the CPU will bottleneck the video card. That's why I wouldn't recommend it.

Thanks my friend, I chose GeForce GTX 950 Zotac AMP! 2GB Edition because of what "game-debate.com" mentioned as Best CPU Match:

By the way what's your recommendation for power supply according to my system?
