Will My AMD a10 5700 bottleneck my EVGA GTX 950?

Currently my PC build is:
APU(Used as CPU):AMD a10 5700 Quad Core @ 3.4 Ghz

GPU:Nvidia EVGA GTX 950

RAM:8GB DDR3 1600

As of right now i'm looking for a graphics card for gaming around the $150-$160 range to replace the use of the integrated graphics on the AMD. Is it worth it to spend a little less to get a lower end GPU like a 750 ti to lessen the effect of the bottleneck or will it not affect the 950 as much and still be the better choice.

The type of games I will be playing are a mix of low end and high end games at 720p. (I dont mind if settings aren't maxed out)

-No Mans Sky (When it comes out)
-Battlefield 4
-Borderlands 2
-Insurgency
-Skyrim
-Fallout 3 and New Vegas
-Farcry 3 and Farcry Blood Dragon
-CS:GO
-GTA V (Maybe if in the future I want to play it or if its on a steam sale)

No, amd 5700 won't bottleneck your gtx 950. Open world games like gta 5 and skyrim will require the most from your cpu bottleneck, but wouldn't cause a significant dips in frames.
