I agree that you may need to check you power supply to make sure it can handle it, but gaming is not the only instance where hadware graphic acceleration is helpful. Anything graphics/video intensive will almost certainly benefit. I am not sure how that argument of the CPU being a bottleneck is relevant though unless I am completely misunderstanding their meaning. The whole reason a video card was invented in the first place was to take as much of the graphics related work off the CPU and system memory. So the best video card you can get away with should actually benefit a system with a modest CPU because the video card is handling most of the graphics workload.
