old system upgrade, Will it bottleneck?

[ant666_2]

hi im about to upgrade an old system with a gtx960 i had kicking about

i was wondering if there would be any bottleneck with the following hardware.

 

AMD A8-6600k - APU - Stock cooler

fm2a58m hd+ - Motherboard UEFI fully upto date

500W PSU (nothing special)

8GB of bog standard low profile DDR3 Ram 1600

No current GPU

Windows 10

 

any help would be appreciated

 

also any sugested upgrades would be a great help, please bear in mind that budget is extreamly limited, probably £50-£60 max

thank you

whole build, save your money the 960 would be bottlenecked.

"I had kicking about" means he already owns it no?

And he'll still get a better gaming experience when compared to using the iGPU so he may as well while saving up for a little more for a "real" CPU and motherboard upgrade...

May as well, I mean the A8 is still a quad core where it is comparable to the Athlon X4 which doesn't bottleneck the 960 too badly so...why not get dem smooth 1080p experience
