Ended up buying GTX 750 but is it a bottleneck for a G3260 build?

Here is my problem,

I wanted to buy a GTX 950 with 2 GB DDR5 RAM but there was no stock when I bought it.
I ended up buying a GTX 750 with 1 GB DDR5 RAM because this is the only graphics card that has a VGA connector.

I own a 1080p monitor.
And this is my first time that I experienced 60+ FPS for Battlefield 4 or any game which is awesome.

Although I think I should have bought a GTX 950.
I have a PC with these specs:

Processor: Intel Pentium G3260
RAM: 8 GB RAM
Graphics Card: GTX 750 (1 GB DDR5)
Monitor: 1080p

So here is my question:
1.) When will a GTX 750 become obsolete?
2.) Which among the components listed above is considered the bottleneck?
3.) How to make shadowplay display not only FPS but also CPU and GPU usage (IMPORTANT)?

1) The GTX 750 is technically 'obsolete', especially with only 1GB VRAM. However, if you're happy with how it performs, then I think you did alright!
2) You shouldn't be experiencing any bottle necking. The G3260 is a solid dual-core processor. You have a lower-end gaming PC, but the processor and graphics card should work together just fine.
3) Not sure, but I believe MSI Afterburner includes a utility to do that.
