Hi! I have HP Compaq 6005 pro microtower PC which has:
AMD phenom II x2 3.2 GHz b57 processor
4 GB ddr3 RAM(I will upgrade it to to 6GB later)
PCI express 2.0 x16
How much performance I lose by installing gtx 750 ti?

It is enough for the 750ti. If you really want to buy the card, then go for it. I can't stop you. I am just saying that you won't see a huge improvement due to the nature of your other components. Best of luck!

As I have stated before, "bottlenecking" is a debated term. Honestly, that processor will not be able to run at the speeds that that card is capable of. So in non-technical terms, yes. The card will not be able to run at its full potential because that processor wont be able to keep up. And I would definitely suggest upgrading that RAM to 8GB or more depending on what that motherboard can handle.

Yeah! I understand that my processor is slow..
Are you sure that my PC supports gtx 750 ti?
I'm not sure to buy that card as I am afraid that my PC does not support it.

Do you know what motherboard it has? It seems to be an older computer or at least a computer with low-end components. I am not sure if you will be able to run that 750 at what it is capable of. I would start your upgrades with a new processor and motherboard. Go for a mid-tier i5 if you are looking to game.
