Bottleneck Effect?

I am thinking of getting one of the new 5870 cards.

Would i see a major bottle neck if i put it into my current setup seen below?

Would my CPU E8400 @ 4Ghz be ok?

Of course it's not going to bottleneck, your CPU is faster than any commercially available dual core processor

But what about his case? I'm sure that is limiting his max FPS.

Get an SSD - the hard drive is the only thing that will bottleneck your system!

Yer i plan to when they arrive at a reasonable price, right now they are far too pricey!

I wouldn't bother as it will only slightly improve your loading times, your spinpoint is fine for gaming.
