No bottleneck?

I would reckon so. The GT 640 is not a powerful card.

No bottleneck?

Just get the 750ti, it will bottleneck now but when you upgrade your system to i3 or whatever the 640 will need to be chucked as that becomes a huge bottleneck.

 

Just get the best card you can afford, just keep in mind 80% of 750ti's come with a PCIe 6 pin connection required, however from experience with other MSI cards they provide a molex to 6 pin converter (check box contents on a review or something).
