Yes.There will be a SEVERE bottleneck.The only card you can purchase with that cpu is amd 5670.Anything above will bottleneck

Most people who prattle on about 'bottlenecks' have no idea what it truly means or have ever really seen the effects a slow CPU can have on graphical performance IMHO.

 

[MidnightRider]

hmmm,so what should i do ????

What resolution are you going to be running at?

 

[MidnightRider]

1440x900

You should be OK, a faster CPU or higher res would be better but you shouldn't be presented with a slide show at that res with a single card.

I would think so, the GTX550Ti is pretty comparable with a GTX260 192 which is only a couple of tiers higher than the 9800GT.
