(got it for 100 US dollars) So I just got a custom build with a  AMD 6350 fx with a MSI GTX 660 ti with a thor V2 case, good amount of fans. 

First question: how is it going to play games now these days? if you have a updated video please link or anything. 

Second: If I update the graphics card will the CPU bottleneck the new GPU? if i got like a 1050 for example. 

Third: Any good videos for overclocking this setup? not overclocked yet. 

 

Thanks for any help!

The fx series will basically bottleneck trying to hit anything over 60 fps for the most part. I had the fx 8350 for a bit of time and it was pretty balanced with a 960 so a 1050 wouldn't be a bad choice although I don't know how it would compare to the 660ti and if it is worth the money to invest in a gpu. If you already bought the pc i would test the thing and see how it performs and then decide what you want to do. If you haven't then I would suggest finding an alternative tbh. That setup doesn't really give you a whole lot of options as far as an upgrade bath just because you would need to replace the cpu motherboard and ram and the gpu if you wanted to upgrade the performance a good amount. That being said it's not like it won't play games it's just not so great when you think about future upgrades.

To be really frank, the 660 Ti isn't that far off from a GTX 1050; how bad the CPU would hold back the GPU will entirely depend on the game.
