I am tempted by the Zotac Nvidia GTX 650 Ti AMP! 2GB Gpu...
for my budget build thread, i was planning to pair this gpu with PENTIUM G630.
My query is will this cause a bottleneck?? will the cpu bottleneck the GPU??

It might in some cpu dependent games. But shouldn't be of much significance in others and that's no excuse for buying a cheaper gpu. As they say, it is always advisable to get the best possible gpu .
I say - go for it.

PS - you might consider upgrading to a SB/IB i3.

Go for G645 which is just 200 bucks higher than G630.

I don't know about the Online shops, I checked it locally in Kolkata. Ask @incinerator about it.
