I am trying to make a new build. I have a Ryzen 5 2600 with a b450 pro wifi motherboard. I found a brand new never been used 950 for $80, would this bottleneck my cpu?

Yes your GPU would be the bottleneck, but that's what you want anyways. That said you can pair it with much faster graphics cards and be great. Overclock that 2600 to 4ghz and I'd be perfectly happy pairing it with anything up to an RTX 2060/GTX 1080 at 1080p. 

Main System: EVGA GTX 1080 SC, i7 8700, 16GB DDR4 Corsair LPX 3000mhz CL15, Asus Z370 Prime A, Noctua NH D15, EVGA GQ 650W, Fractal Design Define R5, 2TB Seagate Barracuda, 500gb Samsung 850 Evo
Secondary System: EVGA GTX 780ti SC, i5 3570k @ 4.5ghz, 16gb DDR3 1600mhz, MSI Z77 G43, Noctua NH D15, EVGA GQ 650W, Fractal Design Define R4, 3TB WD Caviar Blue, 250gb Samsung 850 Evo
