Will my AMD fx-6300 bottleneck the new GTX 1050ti?

I plan to build my better gaming pc later when the zen and vega series comes out and see if theyre any good. But, for now I just want to swap out my mid-low end gpu for a better fps gpu. Just curious if my un-overclocked 6300 will be able to run the 1050ti without bottlenecking it.
Thanks in advance
 
Solution
The FX6300 is definitely strong enough for a 1050it. It only bottlenecks a GTX1060 a little bit and the 1060 is a lot stronger than the 1050ti.

Your CPU will only "bottleneck" as it were, in CPU intensive titles (GTA V, Assassin's Creed just as examples) and can be alleviated/mitigated (to a degree) by an OC if you have an appropriate CPU cooling solution. Modern GPUs and most titles are coded to allow them to do the majority of the work.
