Yes, you will bottleneck that card with that processor. An FX-4300 or greater wouldn't bottleneck that card.

wait you're saying a gt 520 cant run with a amd fx 4300? Would it run with a gtx 560, or at least better than the AMD phenom ii x4 810 processor will?

I think you need to read his post, he's asking about a GTX 660 Ti.
Bottlenecks =/= incompatibility. It just means you're not getting the full performance.
