No mean to be "that guy" but your post is a bit hard to read. A bit of extra grammar is never a bad thing :)

 

What CPU do you currently have? The Area 51 has a few options.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

He must have a garbage CPU if it is bottle-necking the GPU

Even if your CPU is bottlenecking your GPU, that doesn't sound normal. I'm not sure the CPU is your problem. Possible overheating issue?

An i3 4160 is the minimum I believe so he shouldn't be having problems...

Sounds to me more like a GPU problem than a CPU one.

Bottlenecking usually never usually gets so drastic that it causes artifacting and distortion, maybe it's a driver issue? Did you reinstall catalyst when you got the new card?
