AMD A4 6300 - Best GFX Before Bottleneck?

I'm gonna make a build for regular use. I'll decide on all the other things later.

I'm going to use a Gigabyte F2A88X-UP4 mobo and an AMD A4 6300.

 

What's the best graphics card I can use before I bottleneck my GPU?

 

A4 is low-end. I'm the CPU and mobo for really cheap, so I won't be buying a better CPU.

All graphics cards will cause CPU bottleneck.

"I know this is really late but this is for anyone who comes across this. I Had the radeon 7750 in my system and it was good played all my games better then my previous Geforce GT520....expect GTA IV and Crysis 2 were very laggy and unplayable on max settings. I just purchased the GTX 550 Ti for 109.00 with 20.00 mail in rebate so for 89.00 not a bad price (radeon was 149.00 at best buy). I play every game out now at max settings with frame rates between 25-60 very playable imo. Some examples would be :

GTX 550Ti / Radeon 7750

Skyrim - min 27fps avg 44-60fps / Min 16-20 Fps Avg 27 Fps

Guild Wars 2 - min 20fps avg 33-60fps / Min 16-17 FPS Avg 24-27 Fps

Star Wars The Old Republic - min of 30 fps Avg 60 Fps / Min 20 fps Avg 30-40 Fps

Crysis 2 - Min 25 fps Avg 40Fps / Unplayable on Ultra Settings

Borderlands 2 - Min 24 Fps Avg 40-50fps / Min 16-20Fps Avg 30 Fps

GTA IV - min 16-17 fps Avg 30fps / Unplayable on Max Settings

System Specs
Processor Intel Core 2 Quad Q9950 2.83GHz
8 GB DDR2 PC6400 800mhz Ram (I know old school and prob Bottle-necking me)
750GB 7200rpm Harddrive
460W Power supply
Creative X-Fi Gamer Edition Sound Card
PYN GTX 550 Ti 1GB

I got my CPU for literally a few bucks. I was planning for a GTX 650. I'm gonna play very low-demanding games (free games, like Need For Speed World).
