im thinking on giving my pc a boost with a new graphics card. But im really hell bent on pressing the trigger and buying said card. The card is the gtx 750 TI and my cpu is a amd a6 3650 apu. I would like to know if my cpu would bottle neck the graphics card as i dont want to waste 120-130$ on something that cant preform at its full potential.

Nope. 

If my system isn't bottlenecking, then you're fine.
