Would there be much bottlenecking if i got a nvidia 650 ti boost 2gb on my ancient rig:
c2d@3.0ghz
asus p5kpl-am
4gb ddr2 @ 800mhz
nvidia gts250 1gb
dell 2412m 1920x1200
400w psu http://www.k-mex.com/Webforms/ProductInfoPage.aspx?KindNo=0000000005&ProductNo=0000000519

Really don't want to spend money on new components, so what do you think? Would this be ok for occasional gamer for about 2 years? Will there be 2 much botllenecking, 2 weak psu maybe? Any other suggestions maybe? My limit is about 160€, i think more wouldn't be reasonable for such an old rig.
I wanna play project cars when it's out at about 35fps, couse thats the game i play the most. I tried overclocking my rig and it goes to 3.3 ghz with these components, further is unstable i think.
I will buy a new rig in 3 years time but untill then, is this a good idea? Tnx 4 your answers.
 
Your PSU looks like junk. So I would be careful on loading it.

A 7770 would probably be the strongest card you can use without a significant bottleneck. But you can go with the 7790 or 7850.

The amount of bottleneck is dependent on the game. I run a Core 2 Duo E6700 and it performs decently but sometimes struggles alittle.
