The CPU will be a massive bottleneck, I have a similarly bad setup, though I am planning on upgrading and needed the GPU first for... reasons.

I am involved in computational medicinal chemistry research and am interested in pharmaceuticals as a researcher, in no way do I endorse the taking of the drugs. Never.
