WIll this CPU botleneck my GPU?

[neigenoire]

Hi! I have a fairly old system and I've decided to upgrade it for the first time in years. I just bought Sapphire 7850 1GB video card, but haven't installed it yet. My CPU is an old Athlon II x2 260. I'm pretty sure it will be a major bottleneck for the card, so I was wondering what would be a good, but not overly expensive CPU to go with 7850 without bottlenecking? My motherboard supports AMD processors. I was thinking of getting Phenom x4 965BE, but I hear some saying it will be a bottleneck too, is it true?

Btw, I have a 19 inch monitor, so I am not planning on playing on huge resolutions or several monitors and stuff like that.

Who said you x4 965 be will bottleneck.you are good for go and there will be no bottleneck.

965 BE wont have problem driving 7850 at that resolution. maybe a slight OC will be required but 965 wont have problem.
go ahead.
