will my cpu bottleneck?

i am buying a gtx 1060 6GB on Christmas and i was wondering if my CPU would bottleneck the GPU i have a Intel i5 2320
(not overclocked)

Yes it will. If you don't plan on upgrading your CPU for that build, a GTX 1050 TI will be a better match.

i already have a gtx 1050ti any suggestion for a cpu around 150 pounds or under

Nope, any stronger GPU you get will be bottlenecked by your CPU.

Fastest supported CPU being the I7-2700K. Obviously you cannot overclock it with that mobo.

Make sure to update BIOS to latest version before changing CPU to make sure it's supported.
