RE: will this graphics card be bottlenecked by this pc too much?
One thing you want to keep in mind is that the card you buy for that won't survive your next upgrade.  Your Celeron almost certainly takes AGP bus graphics cards, but new computers and motherboards use PCI Express.  Don't plan on getting a nice card now, to keep while you upgrade the rest of the computer later -- that won't work out.

It would probably be best to not try to turn the Celeron into a gaming computer and plan on replacing it entirely.  If that won't be possible any time soon, figure out what games you are going to play (keeping in mind the computer's specs) and get the least expensive graphics card that should work reasonably well.
