hi
i was planing to get an EVGA GeForce GTX 650 Ti instated of my Geforce G210 for better gaming but someone told me that this GPU is so good comparing to my CPU thus bottleneck it so i thought to ask you guys for the best GPU available for my specifications
CPU:Intel core 2 duo E8400
motherboard:ASRock G41C-S
RAM:2*2GB
PSU:500W
 
Upgrading the processor would be smart, but you'll want to upgrade the mobo too. I'd go for a hd7850 and then save up to upgrade the rest.

What is the power supply brand?
 
Never heard of it so doubt it's any good, and you dont want to put a power hungry graphics card on a cheap power supply. The caps will wear out and it will kill the power supply, and when it goes there is a chance it will send a surge through the system and fry parts
 
looks like you will want to replace it whenever possible...seems to be heavy on the 5v rail but light on the 12V rail...kinda strange

Agreed as above. The 'heavy' 5V rail focus comes from a historical need for this voltage. Modern PSU designs are focus on 12V.

New PSU for SHO!
