Will this graphics card bottleneck my CPU/system?

Hey guys. I am really bad at this stuff. With games demanding more and more graphics as each year passes, my poor GTX 650 is on the brink of dying out on me (not really; I'm just exaggerating).

Anyways, I'm on a tight budget. I'm looking into getting the GTX 750Ti SC for my system but I'm not sure if my processor will be able to handle it.

Here's my system specs:

MOBO: Asus Sabertooth P67
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500 Sandy Bridge
RAM: 4GB (planning on getting more/changing it because of memory leaks)
PSU: Corsair 550W
And some hard drives.

Any help and/or suggestions is very appreciated. Thanks! :)

Your CPU shoudn't have a problem handeling a GTX 750 TI? Also try taking a look at GTX 950 its slightly faster and cost about the same :)

Um, not any that I can recall of. My system hasn't crashed since two weeks ago. :wahoo:

Hey! Thanks for your response. I really like the graphics card and I'll be sure to consider it. But the only thing is that I'm worried if it will bottleneck my CPU. My processor isn't in the CPU list, so I'm just a little anxious if it will hurt my system. (Then again those are Recommended CPU's, so I could be wrong about that)

Sorry for my extreme level of cautiousness, but I'm just that kind of person.:lol:

Hehe... Your i5 2500 should handle it no problem ;) Good luck with the 750 TI (or 950) if you buy it :D

Remember to pick a solution when you feel like you got the right answer

Have a good day/night :)
