Will this graphics card be bottlenecked in any way?

I want to buy a graphics card soon for gaming (right now I'm just running off integrated graphics).

 

I just wanted to know if the graphics card will be bottlenecked in any way.

I'm going to get an MSI GeForce GTX 950 (http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-gtx950gaming2g)

 

My PC specs are:

 

CPU: AMD FX-4100 Quad-Core

Motherboard: Acer Aspire M3450

Memory: 8 GB DDR3 (dual channel)

HDD: 930 GB

PSU: 550W

 

I don't THINK the graphics card will be bottlenecked because it's probably not that powerful, but I just want to make sure. :)

Thanks!

I have a 950 and it's actually a pretty decent budget card and delivers great performance but I don't think it'll be bottlenecked.

I think the 950 would be fine for you.  I've put it in a few other budget gaming builds for other people and they are happy with it.

Probably, and I wouldn't put anything better with that CPU, since its an FX 4***, and a Bulldozer one at that.

i dont think that it would be bottlenecked as the card itself runs pretty good with mutithreaded cpus
