I wanted a 970 hall of fame but i know it will bottleneck with my pentium g3258. I have my mind set on a gtx 950 and was wondering how this one is: http://galaxstore.net/GALAX-NVIDIA-GEFORCE-GTX-950-BLACK-OC-SNIPER-2GB_p_96.html

It matches my black and yellow color scheme and is from the same people that make the hall of fame cards

every GPU will be bottlenecked by that CPU

it not like buying a lower end GPU improves your experience...

both CPU and GPU contribute to performance

 

a 970 will still perform better than a 950 even if the CPU is a bottleneck

 

and that CPU is only a bottleneck in games that use 4 or 8 cores

You could go for a 970 now, then save up for a nice i5 in the future. Sure it will be bottleknecked, but at least you'll have your GPU whilst saving for a new CPU.
