What is the Best GPU that my Intel Core i5 650 won't bottleneck.

I was considering upgrading my already built PC (one that you buy at a store), and I wanted to know the best GPU that my Intel Core i5 650 wouldn't bottleneck. I know I will need another power supply and RAM and all that, but the hardest part of this upgrade is finding the best video card that my 6 year old CPU won't bottleneck.
If you need to take a look at my computer (Gateway DX4840) and my motherboard (Gateway DX4840‑03e LGA1156 System Board P/N: H57H‑AM2) here is the link:
PC: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883113151 (mine only has 650 GB HDD and 4 GB of RAM)
Motherboard: http://www.memory4less.com/m4l_itemdetail.aspx?itemid=1465469069&partno=H57H-AM2&rid=90&origin=pla&gclid=Cj0KEQiA4eqyBRDUh7Omv9vCtsoBEiQAspfs8kkM0RC4Dm07XJje_IIHR8G7UXWy0Y18ON30z195VqYaAkvE8P8HAQ

Here is a picture of my motherboard:

Depends on the game. CPU intensive games like ARMA 3 will bottleneck you sooner. A GTX 960 should do ok for most games, though.
